Abstract

Two-stage and sequential procedures are developed for fixed-width interval estimation of the parameter β in a gamma distribution G(α, β) when α is known. Exact properties are obtained for the two-stage procedure and some asymptotics and approximations are given for the operating characteristics of the sequential procedure and some numerical computations are included.
