Simultaneous confidence intervals for all pairwise comparisons of the means of delta-lognormal distributions with application to rainfall data.

ABSTRACT: Natural disasters such as flooding and landslides are important unexpected events during the rainy season in Thailand, and how to direct action to avoid their impacts is the motivation behind this study. The differences between the means of natural rainfall datasets in different areas can be estimated using simultaneous confidence intervals (SCIs) for pairwise comparisons of the means of delta-lognormal distributions. Our proposed methods are based on a parametric bootstrap (PB), a fiducial generalized confidence interval (FGCI), the method of variance estimates recovery (MOVER), and Bayesian credible intervals based on mixed (BCI-M) and uniform (BCI-U) priors. Their coverage probabilities, lower and upper error probabilities, and relative average lengths were used to evaluate and compare
