Confidence intervals for normalised citation counts: Can they delimit underlying research capability? [PDF]
Thelwall, M. (2017). Confidence intervals for normalised citation
counts: Can they delimit underlying research capability? Journal of
Informetrics, 11(4), 1069-1079. doi:10.1016/j.joi.2017.09.002, 2017 Normalised citation counts are routinely used to assess the average impact of research groups or nations. There is controversy over whether confidence intervals for them are theoretically valid or practically useful. In response, this article introduces the concept of a group's underlying research capability to produce impactful research.

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-

Exact-corrected confidence interval for risk difference in noninferiority binomial trials [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 A novel confidence interval estimator is proposed for the risk difference in noninferiority binomial trials. The confidence interval is consistent with an exact unconditional test that preserves the type-I error, and has improved power, particularly for smaller sample sizes, compared to the confidence interval by Chan & Zhang (1999).

Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2015 Model averaging is a technique used to account for model uncertainty, in both Bayesian and frequentist multimodel inferences. In this paper, we compare the performance of model-averaged Bayesian credible intervals and frequentist confidence intervals ...

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.

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).

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.

Mortality among Lifelong Nonsmokers Exposed to Secondhand Smoke at Home: Cohort Data and Sensitivity Analyses [PDF]
, 2006 Evidence is growing that secondhand smoke can cause death from several diseases. The association between household exposure to secondhand smoke and disease-specific mortality was examined in two New Zealand cohorts of lifelong nonsmokers (‘‘never smokers’

Confidence Interval for Quantile Ratio of the Dagum Distribution
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2021 Inequality measures based on ratios of quantiles are frequently applied in economic research, especially to the analysis of income distributions. In the paper, we construct a confidence interval for such measures under the Dagum distribution which has ...
