P-value, compatibility, and S-value

Global Epidemiology, 2022
Misinterpretations of P-values and 95% confidence intervals are ubiquitous in medical research. Specifically, the terms significance or confidence, extensively used in medical papers, ignore biases and violations of statistical assumptions and hence ...

THE PHYSICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF CONFIDENCE INTERVALS [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2001
We define some appropriate statistical quantities that indicate the physical significance (reliability) of confidence intervals in the framework of both Frequentist and Bayesian statistical theories. We consider the expectation value of the upper limit in the absence of a signal (that we propose to call "exclusion potential", instead of "sensitivity ...

Confidence Interval Estimation of Proportion Near Zero or One: A Modeling Secondary Study

مجله اپیدمیولوژی ایران, 2017
Background and Objectives: When computing a confidence interval for a binomial proportion p, one must choose an exact interval that has a coverage probability of at least 1-α for all values of p.

A calculator for confidence intervals [PDF]

Computer Physics Communications, 2002
A calculator program has been written to give confidence intervals on branching ratios for rare decay modes (or similar quantities) calculated from the number of events observed, the acceptance factor, the background estimate and the associated errors.

Simultaneous Confidence Intervals for Pairwise Differences of Means in Zero-Inflated Rayleigh Distributions with an Application to Road Accident Fatalities Data

Mathematics
This paper develops simultaneous confidence intervals (SCIs) for pairwise differences of means with zero-inflated Rayleigh (ZIR) distributions, a flexible framework for modeling positively skewed data with excess zeros.

The P value and statistical significance: Misunderstandings, explanations, challenges, and alternatives

Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine, 2019
The calculation of a P value in research and especially the use of a threshold to declare the statistical significance of the P value have both been challenged in recent years.

Common pitfalls in statistical analysis: "P" values, statistical significance and confidence intervals

Perspectives in Clinical Research, 2015
In the second part of a series on pitfalls in statistical analysis, we look at various ways in which a statistically significant study result can be expressed.

Secure and Usable Bio-Passwords based on Confidence Interval [PDF]

Journal of Internet Services and Information Security, 2017
The most popular user-authentication method is the password. Many authentication systems try to enhance their security by enforcing a strong password policy, and by using the password as the first factor, something you know, with the second factor being ...
