摘要
This paper considers a sequential procedure for setting a fixed-width confidence interval for the mean of a gamma distribution. Instead of a coverage probability, an average coverage probability is considered and its asymptotic expansion is obtained, from which it turns out that the interval with bias correction performs better than that with no bias correction.
