Parameter estimation without confidence intervals?
We greatly appreciate the comments contributed by one of the peer reviewers. Apparently, his comments have clearly sorted out the limitations our article involves. We recognize all the limitations and still, we believe the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) system in Japan is worth being aware of as a novel medical database in Asia. As for the first point, the DPC database only involves 65.1...
متن کاملParameter estimation without confidence intervals?
Fukuhara and Hori’s article [1] reported the possibility of calculating the incidence of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) using publicly accessible data in Japan. If the method were valid and satisfied statistical assumptions, overcoming the limitation of the source of the data, known as Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) data, this suggestion could be an innovative method. Becaus...
متن کاملConfidence intervals for kernel density estimation
This article describes asciker and bsciker, two programs that enrich the possibility for density analysis using Stata. asciker and bsciker compute asymptotic and bootstrap confidence intervals for kernel density estimation, respectively, based on the theory of kernel density confidence intervals estimation developed in Hall (1992b) and Horowitz (2001). asciker and bsciker allow several options ...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for OD Demand Estimation
Representative origin-destination (OD) demand tables are a crucial part of making many transportation models relevant to practice. However estimating these OD tables is a challenging problem, even more so determining the confidence intervals on these OD estimates. In this work we propose a method to construct estimates and confidence intervals of OD demand tables from link flow data. Our method...
متن کاملReliable Confidence Intervals for Software Effort Estimation
This paper deals with the problem of software effort estimation through the use of a new machine learning technique for producing reliable confidence measures in predictions. More specifically, we propose the use of Conformal Predictors (CPs), a novel type of prediction algorithms, as a means for providing effort estimations for software projects in the form of predictive intervals according to...
