The Conceptualization and Measurement of Sport-Confidence (self-Confidence, Sport Psychology)
… a theoretical framework to conceptualize self-confidence based on the unique context of sport, and (b) valid instrumentation to effectively operationalize self-confidence as conceptualized in the theoretical model. An interactional, sport-specific model was developed in which sport-confidence …

Sequential confidence bands for densities
… procedure for constructing a fixed width confidence band for an unknown density on a finite interval and show the procedure has the desired coverage probability asymptotically as the width of the band approaches zero. The procedure is based on a result of Bickel and Rosenblatt (1973, Ann. …

Finding a Better Confidence Interval for a Single Regression Changepoint Using Different Bootstrap Confidence Interval Procedures
… but there is not much literature concerning confidence intervals for regression changepoints. The purpose of this paper is to find a better bootstrap confidence interval for a single regression changepoint. ("Better" confidence interval means having a minimum length and coverage probability …

Uniform Confidence Band for Pricing Kernels
… of the pricing kernel, we develop a uniform confidence band of the EPK. Furthermore, as an alternative to the asymptotic approach, we propose a bootstrap confidence band. The developed theory is helpful for testing parametric specifications of pricing kernels and has a direct extension to …

Word confidence measures for machine translation
… system is incorrect by calculating measures of confidence for each word in this translation. This topic has hardly been investigated in machine translation before. Different ways of determining confidence measures are proposed and experimentally evaluated in this thesis. The basic concept behind …

Optimal Simultaneous Confidence Bounds in Regression
The problem of finding optimal simultaneous confidence bounds for multilinear regression functions with intercept, over bounded regions, is considered. Conditions are derived which imply that the Scheffe-type bound beats the constant width bound for the case of one-sided or two-sided bounding, in …
