Abstract

Recently Gupta and Gupta [3] have discussed point estimation for R = Pr(a' ‘ b’y) where _x_p_x| and y_q_x₁are two non-independent multivariate normal variates and a and b are two known vectors. We show how a lower confidence bound can be obtained for R and how this can be used to refine the inference for the application considered by Gupta and Gupta. Furthermore the case of independent x and y is considered and an application of this case is presented.
