What is confidence? Part 1: The use and interpretation of confidence intervals.
Hypothesis testing and the P value it generates are overemphasized in statistical analyses published in medical journals. An alternative, the confidence interval (CI), offers significantly more information to readers interpreting results. There have been many authoritative calls for the report of CIs in place of P values, such as that of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, w...
متن کاملComparison 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.

متن کاملProbabilistic Intervals of Confidence
Abstract: High accuracy should not be the only goal of classification: information concerning probable alternatives diagnoses, probability of these diagnoses, evaluation of confidence in classification, are also important. Neural models are used just to obtain the winner class but do not provide any justification for their recommendations – they work as black boxes. A method which determine con...
متن کاملInterpretation of Bayesian " Confidence " Intervals for Smootidng Splines
A frequency interpretation of Bayesian "confidence" intervals for smoothing splines. Abstract The frequency properties of Wahba's Bayesian "confidence" intervals for smoothing splines are investigated by a large sample approximation and by a simulation study. When the coverage probabilities for these pointwise confidence intervals is averaged across the observation points, we explain why the av...
