A Cantelli-Type Inequality for Constructing Non-Parametric P-Boxes Based on Exchangeability

Abstract

In this paper we prove a new probability inequality that can be used to construct p-boxes in a non-parametric fashion, using the sample mean and sample standard deviation instead of the true mean and true standard deviation. The inequality relies only on exchangeability and boundedness.
