Mean skewness measures
Chandima N. P. G. Arachchige, Luke A. Prendergast
Skewness measures can be used to measure the level of asymmetry of a distribution. Given the prevalence of statistical methods that assume underlying symmetry, and also the desire…
Confidence intervals for median absolute deviations
Chandima N. P. G. Arachchige, Luke A. Prendergast
The median absolute deviation (MAD) is a robust measure of scale that is simple to implement and easy to interpret. Motivated by this, we introduce interval estimators of the MAD t…
Robust analogs to the Coefficient of Variation
Chandima N. P. G. Arachchige, Luke A. Prendergast, Robert G. Staudte
The coefficient of variation (CV) is commonly used to measure relative dispersion. However, since it is based on the sample mean and standard deviation, outliers can adversely affe…
Interval estimators for ratios of independent quantiles and interquantile ranges
Chandima N. P. G. Arachchige, Maxwell Cairns, Luke A. Prendergast
Recent research has shown that interval estimators with good coverage properties are achievable for some functions of quantiles, even when sample sizes are not large. Motivated by…
