Confidence limit calculation for antidotal potency ratio derived from lethal dose 50. [PDF]
To describe confidence interval calculation for antidotal potency ratios using bootstrap method.We can easily adapt the nonparametric bootstrap method which was invented by Efron to construct confidence intervals in such situations like this. The bootstrap method is a resampling method in which the bootstrap samples are obtained by resampling from the ...
