The power of confidence intervals [PDF]
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2002 We connect the power of Confidence Intervals in different Frequentist methods to their reliability. We show that in the case of a bounded parameter a biased method which near the boundary has large power in testing the parameter against larger alternatives and small power in testing the parameter against smaller alternatives is desirable.

Confidence with confidence intervals
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997 When considering the results of a study that reports one treatment to be better than another, what the practicing ophthalmologist really wants to know is the magnitude of the difference between treatment groups. If this difference is large enough, we may

Confidence Trick: The Interpretation of Confidence Intervals [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2014 The frequent misinterpretation of the nature of confidence intervals by students has been well documented. This article examines the problem as an aspect of the learning of mathematical definitions and considers the tension between parroting mathematically rigorous, but essentially uninternalized, statements on the one hand and expressing imperfect but

The Effect of the Outliers and Leverage Points in the Construction of the Bayesian and Bootstrap Confidence Intervals [PDF]
المجلة العراقية للعلوم الاحصائية, 2019 The aim of this research is to compare the bootstrap confidence intervals with the Bayesian confidence intervals for smoothing splines as well as the traditional confidence intervals to determine which of these limits are best in the presence of Outliers

Confidence intervals and other statistical intervals in metrology [PDF]
International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering, 2012 Typically, a measurement is regarded as being incomplete without a statement of uncertainty being provided with the result. Usually, the corresponding interval of measurement uncertainty will be an evaluated confidence interval, assuming that the ...

Confidence intervals for fMRI activation maps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Neuroimaging activation maps typically color voxels to indicate whether the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals measured among two or more experimental conditions differ significantly at that location.

Confidence Intervals for Seroprevalence
Statistical Science, 2022 This paper concerns the construction of confidence intervals in standard seroprevalence surveys. In particular, we discuss methods for constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of individuals in a population infected with a disease using a sample of antibody test results and measurements of the test's false positive and false negative rates.

Randomization-Based Confidence Intervals for Cluster Randomized Trials [PDF]
, 2020 In a cluster randomized trial (CRT), groups of people are randomly assigned to different interventions. Existing parametric and semiparametric methods for CRTs rely on distributional assumptions or a large number of clusters to maintain nominal ...
