Oct 6, 2017 at 20:53 comment added Matt Stein I am 100% OK abandoning the P-value approach, and you're right, I'm just trying to get good estimations. I will refer to your other link for more help with the contours. Thank you again!!
Oct 6, 2017 at 20:49 comment added JimB If you can bear with me a while longer: Forget the p-value approach, too. Your problem as stated involves "estimation" rather than "hypothesis testing".
Oct 6, 2017 at 20:46 comment added JimB Forget 1/2/3-sigma: at best that applies to the one dimensional case. One is assuming/hoping that a bivariate normal distribution will closely approximate the bivariate distribution of the estimators of the scale and shift parameters. Search this site for "bivariate normal contours" or see mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/153511/….
Oct 6, 2017 at 20:28 comment added Matt Stein Awesome, that's quick and easy. Now... plotting this... In theory, I should be able to position the "peak" at (momShift,momScale) on a 2D plot of the parameter space, and see rings go out at 1/2/3-sigma, but the exact shape/rotation of such a contour plot eludes me. For example, is it rotated at all?
