Evaluation of distribution-free confidence limits for enzyme kinetic parameters.
Monte Carlo experiments have been used to test the robustness of distribution-free confidence limits for the parameters of the MichaelisMenten equation (Porter & Trager, 1977). When used in conjunction with the modified form of the direct linear plot (Cornish-Bowden & Eisenthal, 1978), they prove to be more robust than least-squares confidence limits. In circumstances where the least-squares as...
متن کاملSemicontinuous limits of nets of continuous functions
In this paper we present a topology on the space of real-valued functions defined on a functionally Hausdorff space X that is finer than the topology of pointwise convergence and for which (1) the closure of the set of continuous functions C(X) is the set of upper semicontinuous functions on X , and (2) the pointwise convergence of a net in C(X) to an upper semicontinuous limit automatically en...
متن کاملFiducial confidence limits and prediction limits for a gamma distribution: Censored and uncensored cases
Correspondence K. Krishnamoorthy, Department of Mathematics, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA 70504, U.S.A. Email: [email protected] The problems of finding confidence limits for the mean and an upper percentile, and upper prediction limits for the mean of a future sample from a gamma distribution are considered. Simple methods based on cube root transformation and fiduci...
متن کاملStronger Classical Confidence Limits
A new way of defining limits in classical statistics is presented. This is a natural extension of the original Neyman’s method, and has the desirable property that only information relevant to the problem is used in making statistical inferences. The result is a strong restriction on the allowed confidence bands, excluding in full generality pathologies as empty confidence regions or unstable s...
متن کاملComments on Methods for Setting Confidence Limits
I discuss a number of issues which arise when computing confidence limits by frequentist or Bayesian methods. I begin with a reminder why P(hypothesis data) cannot be determined if the only input is the ‘objective’ data. I then discuss confidence intervals, with emphasis on the ‘unified approach’ based on likelihood-ratio ordering, and related methods. A number of issues arise, including condit...
