This paper reviews two main types of prediction interval methods under a parametric framework. First, we describe methods based on an (approximate) pivotal quantity. Examples include the plug-in, pivotal, and calibration methods. Then we describe methods based on a predictive distribution (sometimes derived based on the likelihood). Examples include Bayesian, fiducial, and direct-bootstrap methods. Several examples involving continuous distributions along with simulation studies to evaluate coverage probability properties are provided. We provide specific connections among different prediction interval methods for the (log-)location-scale family of distributions. This paper also discusses general prediction interval methods for discrete data, using the binomial and Poisson distributions as examples. We also overview methods for dependent data, with application to time series, spatial data, and Markov random fields, for example.
Accurate forecasting is one of the fundamental focus in the literature of econometric time-series. Often practitioners and policy makers want to predict outcomes of an entire time horizon in the future instead of just a single $k$-step ahead predicti
Machine and Statistical learning techniques become more and more important for the analysis of psychological data. Four core concepts of machine learning are the bias variance trade-off, cross-validation, regularization, and basis expansion. We prese
With increasing data availability, causal treatment effects can be evaluated across different datasets, both randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies. RCTs isolate the effect of the treatment from that of unwanted (confounding) c
Randomization-based Machine Learning methods for prediction are currently a hot topic in Artificial Intelligence, due to their excellent performance in many prediction problems, with a bounded computation time. The application of randomization-based
Introductory texts on statistics typically only cover the classical two sigma confidence interval for the mean value and do not describe methods to obtain confidence intervals for other estimators. The present technical report fills this gap by first
