Abstract

Let k1, k2 be non-negative integers with k1 + k 2 ≥ 2; let X1, X 2,.. Xk1 ;Y1, Y2,.. Yk2 be mutually independent Poisson random variables with parameters lambda 1,lambda2,.. lk1 ; mu1, mu2,.. mk2 , respectively. In this article, we consider constructing confidence intervals for ratio of Poisson parameters q=l1˙l2 ˙l3&cdots;lk1 m1˙m2˙m 3&cdots;mk2 . For the ratio of two Poisson parameters q=l1m1 , an exact formula for confidence interval is given. A numerical method to obtain confidence interval for q=l1˙l2 ˙l3&cdots;lk1 m1˙m2˙m 3&cdots;mk2 is developed. Examples are given for each of the two cases.
