Global tilting method

Bing-Yi Jing

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1996, vol. 28, issue 3, 219-226

Abstract: The nonparametric tilting method for constructing confidence intervals was first introduced by Efron (1982). It usually involves tilting the empirical distribution first, and then calculating the statistic under the tilted distribution. However, a different method is used in the example given by Efron (1982). In this paper, we study some properties of this method and its relationship with the usual nonparametric tilting method.
