There should be ways of testing the performance of interval estimation procedures.

For other approaches to expressing uncertainty using intervals, see interval estimation.

The scientific problems associated with interval estimation may be summarised as follows:

Because of this, necrophagous species are considered to be the most important for post-mortem interval estimations.

Instead of, or in addition to, point estimation, one can do interval estimation, such as confidence intervals.

Confidence intervals are one method of interval estimation, and the most widely used in frequentist statistics.

The most prevalent forms of interval estimation are:

Other common approaches to interval estimation, which are encompassed by statistical theory, are:

Thus study of the problem can be used to elucidate the differences between the frequentist and Bayesian approaches to interval estimation.

Through the analysis of specific cases, it was revealed that toxins present in a person's body upon death can confound postmortem interval estimations.

Calliphora livida is important in post-mortem interval estimation because of its relatively early appearance on carrion.

There is a third approach to statistical inference, namely fiducial inference, that also considers interval estimation.

Most of these studies deal with the immature stages, as maggots are a helpful tool in the forensic world for determining post-mortem interval estimations.

Stochastic models are not applied for making point estimation rather interval estimation and they use different stochastic processes.

This genus is important in the field of forensic entomology because of its value in post-mortem interval estimation.

The larvae also have a shorter developmental time than other species, but because of their predaceous nature they can also alter entomological based postmortem interval estimation.

In statistics, fiducial inference is a form of interval estimation developed by Ronald Fisher in connection with the Behrens-Fisher problem.

CLs is a statistical method for setting upper limits on model parameters, a particular form of interval estimation used for parameters that can take only non-negative values.

In these problems the estimates are functions that can be thought of as point estimates in an infinite dimensional space, and there are corresponding interval estimation problems.

The concept of fiducial inference can be outlined by comparing its treatment of the problem of interval estimation in relation to other modes of statistical inference.

The development of C. livida is very useful in determining post-mortem interval estimations because it is possible to determine relatively precise estimations based on a specific instar.

In Bayesian statistics, a credible interval (or Bayesian confidence interval) is an interval in the domain of a posterior probability distribution used for interval estimation.
