Show affiliationsClassically the non-parametric coverage interval is estimated by empirical quantiles. We introduce an alternative way for estimating the coverage interval by symmetric quantiles given by Chen and Chiang (1996 J. Nonparametric Stat. 7 171–85). We further show that this alternative has a better precision in the sense that its asymptotic variances are smaller than the classical one.
