Simultaneous Confidence Intervals for Ratios of Normal Means

Abstract

Given one or more groups of multivariate normal samples, methods are presented for forming simultaneous confidence intervals of all ratios of linear forms of the mean vectors. The methods cover the cases of equal or unequal covariances. In a simultaneous inference context, they are multivariate extensions of a method due to Fieller (1954) for estimation of the ratio of two normal means.
