Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Constructing two-sided simultaneous confidence intervals for multinomial proportions for small counts in a large number of cells [PDF]
Confidence intervals for multinomial proportions are often constructed using large-sample methods that rely on expected cell counts of 5 or greater. In situations that give rise to a large number of categories, the cell counts may not be of adequate size

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

On the Bootstrap and Confidence Intervals
The Annals of Statistics, 1986 It is known that the bootstrap can be viewed as an empiric one term Edgeworth inversion. The present paper shows that such an inversion given by bootstrap is smooth and does not require preliminary theoretical calculations of the Edgeworth expansion.

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

Confidence intervals in stationary autocorrelated time series [PDF]
In this study we examine in covariance stationary time series the consequences of constructing confidence intervals for the population mean using the classical methodology based on the hypothesis of independence. As criteria we use the actual probability

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Confidence intervals using contrasts for regression model [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2009 A graph of confidence intervals can be used to report results from a regression model with explanatory variables asfactors. In this paper we describe a method for computing and displaying confidence intervals using weighted sum contraststo compare ...

Comparison of Confidence Intervals for the Poisson Mean
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2012 We perform a comparative study among nineteen methods of interval estimation of the Poisson mean, in the intervals (0,2), [2,4] and (4,50], using as criteria coverage, expected length of confidence intervals, balance of noncoverage probabilities, E(P ...
