Papers

Several papers have appeared that introduce and apply c-boxes:

• 1. Introductory paper on c-boxes with R functions and a comparison with the Imprecise Beta Model,

  2. Comparison between c-box results and analogous Bayesian and maximum likelihood results,

  3. Application of c-boxes in common inference problems arising in risk analysis [in preparation],

  4. Application of the c-box for nonparametric difference in a calibration/validation study,and

  5. Original paper on the theory of confidence structures.

See also pedagogical slide presentations and R simulations illustrating the use and performance of c-boxes in estimating distributions and their parameters.  Also see expository and review papers on confidence distributions (which are special cases of c-boxes).
