摘要
A systematic method of the construction of a confidence interval for the difference between two means is given in the exponential and gamma cases. The application of a similar method to the Behrens-Fisher type problem is also given. Further, the numerical calculation of coverage probabilities is done and a comparison of the confidence interval proposed in this paper with that based on the Fisher-Welch-Wald similar test is given. As a result, the method is seen to be reasonable.
