Estimation of Gini Index within Pre-Specied Error Bound [PDF]
, 2015 Gini index is a widely used measure of economic inequality. This article develops a general theory for constructing a confidence interval for Gini index with a specified confidence coefficient and a specified width.

Fletcher-Turek Model Averaged Profile Likelihood Confidence Intervals [PDF]
, 2014 We evaluate the model averaged profile likelihood confidence intervals proposed by Fletcher and Turek (2011) in a simple situation in which there are two linear regression models over which we average. We obtain exact expressions for the coverage and the

Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Confidence Intervals
Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2019 Confidence intervals are useful tools for statistical decision-making purposes. In case of incomplete and vague data, fuzzy confidence intervals can be used for decision making under uncertainty.

The Shortest Clopper–Pearson Randomized Confidence Interval for Binomial Probability
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2017 Zieli´nski (2010) showed the existence of the shortest Clopper–Pearson confidence interval for binomial probability. The method of obtaining such an interval was presented as well. Unfortunately, the confidence interval obtained has one disadvantage: it

Prognostic value of the myocardial salvage index measured by T2-weighted and T1-weighted late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-regression analysis [PDF]
, 2020 In all patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, risk stratification should be performed before discharge. The measurement of therapy efficiency with magnetic resonance imaging has been proposed as part of the risk assessment, but it has ...

Fixed-width confidence interval for a lognormal mean
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2002 We consider the problem of constructing a fixed-width confidence interval for a lognormal mean. We give a Birnbaum and Healy type two-stage procedure to construct such a confidence interval. We discuss some asymptotic properties of the procedure. A three-

Comment on "Including Systematic Uncertainties in Confidence Interval Construction for Poisson Statistics" [PDF]
, 2003 The incorporation of systematic uncertainties into confidence interval calculations has been addressed recently in a paper by Conrad et al. (Physical Review D 67 (2003) 012002).

Assessing the similarity of dose response and target doses in two non-overlapping subgroups [PDF]
, 2017 We consider two problems that are attracting increasing attention in clinical dose finding studies. First, we assess the similarity of two non-linear regression models for two non-overlapping subgroups of patients over a restricted covariate space.

Alendronate or alfacalcidol in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis [PDF]
, 2006 BACKGROUND: Treatment with glucocorticoids is associated with bone loss starting soon after therapy is initiated and an increased risk of fracture. METHODS: We performed a randomized, double-placebo, double-blind clinical trial of 18 months' duration ...
