**Abstract**
Revisit
interval estimation for the parameters under
the uniform distribution
$U(a,b)$.
We study two approaches: (1) based on a Wald-type statistic,
(2) based on a pivotal statistic.
We show that the first approach in its common form is not valid
and we propose a modified version of the first approach.
It turns out it is equivalent to the CI with the shortest length.
