``Building'' exact confidence nets (Q2405150)

The paper under review deals with confidence nets, i.e. collections of confidence intervals that fill out the parameter space and whose exact parameter coverage can be computed. The authors first give an account of a general construction of nonparametric confidence interval nets and then specialize to the case of finite reflection groups, showing the relation to the root systems of the groups. After covering in some detail the case of finite Coxeter groups, they study the frequency distribution for the intervals of the confidence net based on almost any finite irreducible Coxeter group and develop the generating function formula for it.
