Confidence Limits

Confidence limits for an unknown value of the parameter θ, which correspond to the given coefficient of confidence p, are the functions θ₁,(ξ₁, ξ₂ … , ξ_n) and θ₂,(ξ₁, ξ₂ … , ξ_n) of the observations ξ₁, ξ₂ … , ξ_nsuch that for any “permissible” probability distribution, the inequalities

θ₁,(ξ₁, ξ₂ … , ξ_n) ≤ θ ≤ θ₂ θ₂,(ξ₁, ξ₂ … , ξ_n)

are realized with a probability of not less than P (and, consequently, are violated with a probability of not greater than 1 - P).
