Becoming confident about confidence intervals [PDF]
A clear understanding of variability is at the heart of many of the studies published in The Bone & Joint Journal . The terms variability, dispersion, spread, distribution and variance, amongst others, are used to refer to the range of values within a dataset.

Confidence interval how sure you are?
Previously, researchers were reported P value as a basis for conclusion, but in this era of evidence-based medicine we are interested now about the precision of the results obtained that allow us to make right decisions in health care practice.

A New Exact Confidence Interval for the Difference of Two Binomial Proportions
We consider interval estimation of the difference between two binomial proportions. Several methds of constructing such an interval are known. Unfortunately those confidence intervals have poor coverage probability: it is significantly smaller than the ...

Multivariate Confidence Intervals [PDF]
Confidence intervals are a popular way to visualize and analyze data distributions. Unlike p-values, they can convey information both about statistical significance as well as effect size. However, very little work exists on applying confidence intervals to multivariate data.

The Shortest Clopper–Pearson Randomized Confidence Interval for Binomial Probability
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

Estimation of Gini Index within Pre-Specied Error Bound [PDF]
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.

Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Confidence Intervals
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.

Fletcher-Turek Model Averaged Profile Likelihood Confidence Intervals [PDF]
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

Fixed-width confidence interval for a lognormal mean
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-

Assessing the similarity of dose response and target doses in two non-overlapping subgroups [PDF]
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.
