A Remark on the Interpretation of Pooling Results

A multinomial distribution (-1, π<sub>1</sub>), (0, π<sub>2</sub>), (1, π<sub>3</sub>), π<sub>1</sub> + π<sub>2</sub> + π<sub>3</sub> = 1 is observed. Suppose that <i>n</i><sub>1</sub> values -1, <i>n</i><sub>2</sub> values 0 and <i>n</i><sub>3</sub> values 1 (<i>n</i> = <i>n</i><sub>1</sub> + <i>n</i><sub>2</sub> + <i>n</i><sub>3</sub>) were observed. The construction of the confidence region for the vector (π<sub>1</sub>, π<sub>2</sub>, π<sub>3</sub>) is given. Theoretical considerations are illustrated by an example of the results of a pool.
