Suppose that \({X_1},...,{X_n}\) form a random sample from the Bernoulli distribution with parameter p. Let \({\bar X_n}\) be the sample average. Use the variance stabilizing transformation found in Exercise 5 of Section 6.5 to construct an approximate coefficient γ confidence interval for p

Short Answer

Expert verified

A function that stabilizes the variance given in the exercise is

\(\alpha \left( x \right) = \arcsin \left( {\sqrt x } \right)\)

Step by step solution

01

Step1:Given information

\({X_1},...,{X_n}\) form a random sample from the Bernoulli distribution with parameter p.

In the exercise 5 of section 6.5 there is variance stabilizing transformation. With the help of it there is a process to do that.

02

Construction of an approximate coefficient γ confidence interval for p.

Limits for a large sample exact coefficient \(\gamma \) confidence interval \(\left( {A,B} \right)\) for the distribution with parameters \(\mu \) and known \({\sigma ^2}\) is given by

\(\begin{align}A &= {{\bar X}_n} - {\Phi ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 + \gamma }}{2}} \right)\frac{\sigma }{{\sqrt n }},\\B &= {{\bar X}_n} + {\Phi ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 + \gamma }}{2}} \right)\frac{\sigma }{{\sqrt n }},\end{align}\)

Where \(\gamma \in \left( {0,1} \right)\)

In this case,

\(\begin{align}A &= \arcsin \left( {\sqrt {{{\bar X}_n}} } \right) - {\Phi ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 + \gamma }}{2}} \right)\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }}\\B &= \arcsin \left( {\sqrt {{{\bar X}_n}} } \right) + {\Phi ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 + \gamma }}{2}} \right)\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }}\end{align}\)

Because \(P\left( {A < \arcsin \left( {\sqrt p } \right) < B} \right) \approx \gamma \)

This yields an approximate confidence interval for p with confidence \(\gamma \)

\(\begin{align}{A_1} &= {\sin ^2}\left( {\arcsin \left( {\sqrt {{{\bar X}_n}} } \right) - {\Phi ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 + \gamma }}{2}} \right)\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }}} \right)\\{B_1} &= {\sin ^2}\left( {\arcsin \left( {\sqrt {{{\bar X}_n}} } \right) + {\Phi ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 + \gamma }}{2}} \right)\frac{1}{{\sqrt n }}} \right)\end{align}\)

Now, the interval \(\left( {{A_1},{B_1}} \right)\) is the \(\gamma \) coefficient for the interval p.
