Description

This report reviews new methodology for statistical inferences. Point estimators, confidence intervals and $p-$values have been fundamental tools for frequentist statisticians. Confidence distributions, which can be viewed as ``distribution estimators'', are often convenient devices for constructing all the above statistical procedures plus more.
