Generalized fiducial inference: A review and new results

J Hannig, H Iyer, RCS Lai, TCM Lee - Journal of the American …, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
RA Fisher, the father of modern statistics, proposed the idea of fiducial inference during the
first half of the 20th century. While his proposal led to interesting methods for quantifying …

Inferential models: A framework for prior-free posterior probabilistic inference

R Martin, C Liu - Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2013 - Taylor & Francis

Fiducial theory and optimal inference

G Taraldsen, BH Lindqvist - The Annals of Statistics, 2013 - JSTOR
It is shown that the fiducial distribution in a group model, or more generally a quasigroup
model, determines the optimal equivariant frequentist inference procedures. The proof does …

Estimation methods for the variance of Birnbaum-Saunders distribution containing zero values with application to wind speed data in Thailand
