Abstract:
|
This working paper presents six methods for constructing a confidence interval for the ratio of two Poisson rates: Wald's, Delta and Fieller's methods under normal approximation, Bayesian method under gamma priors, and Bootstrap methods (Hall's and Bootstrap-t). These methods are evaluated on simulation data via confidence interval width and coverage probability. Some recommendations are provided under simulation scenarios.
