Abstract

The natural parameter space is known to be restricted in many real applications such as engineering, sciences and social sciences. The confidence interval derived from the classical Neyman procedure is unsatisfactory in the case of a restricted parameter space. New confidence intervals for the reciprocal of a normal mean with a known coefficient of variation and a restricted parameter space are proposed in this paper. A simulation study has been conducted to compare the performance of the proposed confidence intervals.
