Abstract

Inferential models (IMs) are new methods of statistical inference. They have several advantages: (1) They are free of prior distributions; (2) They rely on data. In this paper, \(100(1-\alpha )\%\) plausibility regions of the skewness parameter of skew-normal distributions are constructed by using IMs, which are the counterparts of classical confidence intervals in IMs.
