##Statistics Seminar##\\ Department of Mathematical Sciences ^ **DATE:**|Thursday, Feb. 3, 2022 | ^ **TIME:**|1:15pm -- 2:15pm | ^ **LOCATION:**|Zoom meeting | ^ **SPEAKER:**|Qiqing YU, Binghamton University | ^ **TITLE:**|Interval Estimation For The Parameters Under The Uniform Distribution U(a,b) | \\ **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.
