报告摘要：A method named the h-function method is introduced to unify the constructions of the level-αexact test and the 1-α exact confidence interval. The latter has the infimum coverage probability over the entire parameter space no less than 1-α, thus assuring reliable inference. Using this method, any given confidence interval can be improved as follows: (i) an approximate interval, including a point estimator, is modified to an exact interval; (ii) an exact interval is refined to be a sub-interval of the previous one. Various applications of this method will be discussed. Senior students in Statistics have the background to access these topics.

报告人简介：Weizhen Wang received his Ph.D. in Statistics from Cornell University in 1995. He has been Professor of Statistics at Wright State University since 2007. His research includes bioequivalence, exact parametric and nonparametric inferences, saturated and adaptive designs, categorical data analysis, the foundation of statistics, statistical computation, and clinical trials. His current primary interest is exact statistical inference and its implementation in R.
