Symmetric Intervals and Confidence Intervals

Biometrical Journal, 1994
AbstractWe show that the symmetric “confidence intervals” of WESTLAKE (1972, 1976), widely used and referred to in bioequivalence studies, are not confidence intervals in any accepted sense. Nevertheless, meaningful symmetric intervals can be constructed in the context of Bayesian or fiducial inference.

Confidence Intervals for a Proportion

Biometrika, 1956
Tables of confidence intervals for a proportion based on the sample proportion are presented, calculated by a slight modification of the method proposed by Sterne (1954), for fixed sample sizes up to 30 and confidence coefficients of 0 90, 0 95 and 0 99. This system is compared, especially in shortness, with Sterne's system, Clopper & Pearson's (1934),

Bootstrap confidence intervals

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1988
Abstract Nonparametric confidence bounds are obtained for a wide class of statistics using bootstrap. These results improve the errors in the probability estimates of the confidence intervals over the ones obtained by the normal approximation theory unconditionally.

Confidence Intervals II

1998
In the previous topic you began a study of the important and widely used technique of confidence intervals. These procedures use a sample statistic to estimate a population parameter with an interval of values and a certain confidence level. This topic asks you to continue this study by considering sample survey results and the connection between ...

Understanding confidence intervals

BMJ, 2014
Researchers investigated the effects of controlled cord traction in the third stage of labour on postpartum haemorrhage when carried out in a high resource setting. A randomised controlled trial study design was used. Control treatment was standard placenta expulsion (awaiting spontaneous placental separation before facilitating expulsion). The setting
