Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (i) to extend the simultaneous confidence intervals procedures (SCIP) of Healy [7] along the lines of Chow and Robbins [3] and (ii) to develop certain robust non-parametric SCIP based on the results of Sen [10] and Sen and Ghosh [11]; the allied efficiency results are also presented.
