Abstract: The coverage function presented here measures confidence interval robustness. It is suggested that this function be used in the analysis of empirical interval estimator studies. Some approaches for determining appropriate sample sizes in such experiments are also discussed. A short study of two procedures for constructing confidence intervals for a simulation response is offered as an example.
