• An example of a strong CI: 1 <br />

<br />

∼ ( 2 ).<br />

The CI derived from the 2-sided t-test is ¯ ±<br />

2 √ ,with<br />

¯ − <br />

( ∈ ) = <br />

ﯯ¯¯ √ ¯ ≤ 2<br />

= ³ | −1 | ≤ 2´<br />

→ 1 − ;<br />

s<strong>in</strong>ce the probability does not depend on the parameters<br />

the convergence is uniform.<br />

— The above is typical when the CI is based on<br />

a ‘pivot’ — a function of the data and of the<br />

parameter whose distribution does not depend<br />

on the parameters.<br />
