May 16, 2015 at 17:16 comment added Tim @whuber but this is a different paper then Wall et al., isn't it..? The link I found seems to be the Wall et al. paper (?)
May 15, 2015 at 15:53 comment added whuber Thank you, @Tim. I have replaced your link with the one offered in a comment by ars, which goes to a free, full download on arxiv.org.

Jan 25, 2014 at 1:29 comment added whuber @Glen_b On the contrary, most likely I missed something. I'll pay attention to that the next time I need this paper, but in the meantime the difference in constants does not affect the analysis here.
Jan 25, 2014 at 0:19 comment added Glen_b This is great. However, I'm curious why you applied formula (3) (which comes from Edelman), which Wall et al describe as "wider than necessary". Toward the end of the paragraph immediately prior to mentioning (3) they use 4.84 (exactly 1 smaller than 5.84) for a 90% interval, which comes from their equation (4). No doubt I missed something.

Aug 20, 2010 at 14:16 comment added whuber @ars: Yes, it is: the URL in the subtitle confirms it. Thanks for finding it.
Aug 20, 2010 at 6:07 comment added ars Thanks - any chance this is the Rodriguez paper you're thinking of? arxiv.org/abs/bayes-an/9504001

Add jstor link for reference.
Aug 19, 2010 at 0:29 comment added Rob Hyndman Amazing. I didn't know that. Thanks for the reference.
Aug 18, 2010 at 14:51 comment added whuber Yes it is! That's why it's well worth studying: challenges to our intuition are exceptionally educational. I first learned of this from a clear paper on Carlos Rodriguez' (SUNY Albany) Web page but I couldn't find it this morning: it appears the server is down. Try Googling "carlos rogriguez statistics" later. (His paper is supposed to be at omega.albany.edu/8008/confint.html , but this might be an old URL.)
