Comparing geographic area-based and classical population-based incidence and prevalence rates, and their confidence intervals
To quantify the HIV epidemic, the classical population-based prevalence and incidence rates (P rates) are the two most commonly used measures used for policy interventions. However, these P rates ignore the heterogeneity of the size of geographic region where the population resides. It is intuitive that with the same P rates, the likelihood for HIV can be much greater to spread in a population ...
متن کاملSimultaneous confidence intervals for comparing binomial parameters.
SUMMARY To compare proportions with several independent binomial samples, we recommend a method of constructing simultaneous confidence intervals that uses the studentized range distribution with a score statistic. It applies to a variety of measures, including the difference of proportions, odds ratio, and relative risk. For the odds ratio, a simulation study suggests that the method has cover...
متن کاملEstimating Entropy Rates with Bayesian Confidence Intervals
The entropy rate quantifies the amount of uncertainty or disorder produced by any dynamical system. In a spiking neuron, this uncertainty translates into the amount of information potentially encoded and thus the subject of intense theoretical and experimental investigation. Estimating this quantity in observed, experimental data is difficult and requires a judicious selection of probabilistic ...
متن کاملThe 95% confidence intervals of error rates and discriminant coefficients
Fisher proposed a linear discriminant function (Fisher’s LDF). From 1971, we analysed electrocardiogram (ECG) data in order to develop the diagnostic logic between normal and abnormal symptoms by Fisher’s LDF and a quadratic discriminant function (QDF). Our four years research was inferior to the decision tree logic developed by the medical doctor. After this experience, we discriminated many d...
متن کاملNon-parametric confidence intervals of instantaneous forward rates
Using the price of US Treasury Strips, we show how to estimate forward rates with spline models. Confidence intervals on these rates are constructed with bootstrap methods. An unusual feature of the data is the heteroscedastic and correlated error structure. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
