New framework offers valid confidence bands for distribution functions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework for constructing confidence bands for distribution functions that are valid across all times and all points in a data stream. This method allows for simultaneous validity, even with arbitrarily dependent observations. The framework is illustrated using various types of CDFs, including importance-weighted, right-censored, and multivariate CDFs, with band widths determined by factors like binary search tree depth.

    Anytime Valid Confidence Bands for Distribution Functions

    arXiv:2610.36149v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Nonparametric inference often requires characterizing an unknown function, such as a cumulative distribution function (CDF), across its entire domain rather than a specific point. We develop confidence bands for distribution functio…
