The Laplace approximation computes a normal distribution which approximates the distribution of interest. It does so by centering the approximation around the mode of the target distribution, and ...

The coverage probabilities of the individual s-normal-approximation confidence intervals for the parameters are examined numerically. Some recommendations are made from the results of a Monte Carlo ...
