Abstract: Based on an analysis of the Bayesian posteriori density method and the Non-Bayesian confidence interval method for parameter estimation, the concept and a computation formula for the confidence density are introduced from the confidence interval. It is shown that the confidence density distribution is a complete description of the result of the Non-Bayesian parameter estimation and possesses a definite probability meaning. As an example to show its application, a statistical inference to the mass of a charged particle is made.
