Abstract:
A general method, named the h-function method, is introduced to unify the constructions of level-α exact test and 1-α exact confidence interval. Using this method, any given confidence interval can be improved as follows: (i) an approximate interval, including a point estimator, is modified to an exact interval; (ii) an exact interval is refined to be an interval that is a subset of the previous one; (iii) two intervals, each utilizing partial data, are combined to form an exact interval that utilizes the complete data. Some real datasets, including Johnson & Johnson's Janssen vaccine (2021), are used to illustrate the method.
