A simple general method is proposed for constructing confidence intervals for arbitrary functions of variance components in balanced normal-theory models. The concept of "surrogate variables" is ...

Research in inequalities and integrals within the realm of fuzzy and interval-valued functions has advanced our understanding of uncertainty quantification and non-linear analysis. This field ...

Methods described first by Madansky (1965) and revived more recently by Cox & Oakes (1984, pp. 51-2) are extended to incorporate the calculation of likelihood-based confidence intervals for functions ...
