Confidence intervals for change in automated visual fields.

Three successive fields of 136 eyes (86 patients) were extracted from our data base containing over 3000 visual fields performed on the Humphrey visual field analyser with program 30-2. Series of fields in which the second field was depressed relative to the first were selected for analysis to determine how much change between the first two fields was required to predict a downward trend as con...

Visual Hypothesis Testing with Confidence Intervals

A simple visual method of comparing means given normal %~. confidence intervals is proposed. Monte Carlo simulations were used to derive a visual rule of thumb that can be used to test the null hypothesis of equal means, given the confidence intervals of the means, and the sample sizes (or degrees of freedom). The type-1 error rate of the test is approximately .05. The rule involves accepting t...

Bootstrapping confidence intervals for the change-point of time series

We study an AMOC time series model with an abrupt change in the mean and dependent errors that fulfill certain mixing conditions. We obtain confidence intervals for the unknown change-point via bootstrapping methods. Precisely we use a block bootstrap of the estimated centered error sequence. Then we reconstruct a sequence with a change in the mean using the same estimators as before. The diffe...

Observer-based rather than population-based confidence limits for determining probability of change in visual fields

Determining confidence intervals on psychophysical thresholds is straight forward if the psychometric function is known. In clinical settings, however, there is only partial information about the psychometric function, hence confidence limits are usually derived from test-retest data collected from many subjects. In this paper, we introduce a computational technique for deriving confidence limi...

Comparison of five introduced confidence intervals for the binomial proportion

So far many confidence intervals were introduced for the binomial proportion. In this paper, our purpose is comparing five well known based on their exact confidence coefficient and average coverage probability.
