Resampling methods in Microsoft Excel® for estimating reference intervals
Computer-intensive resampling/bootstrap methods are feasible when calculating reference intervals from non-Gaussian or small reference samples. Microsoft Excel® in version 2010 or later includes natural functions, which lend themselves well to this purpose including recommended interpolation procedures for estimating 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reade...
متن کاملHybrid Resampling Methods for Confidence Intervals
This paper considers the problem of constructing confidence intervals for a single parameter θ in a multiparameter or nonparametric family. Hybrid resampling methods, which “hybridize” the essential features of bootstrap and exact methods, are proposed and developed for both parametric and nonparametric situations. In particular, we apply such methods to construct confidence regions, whose cove...

Most medical researchers have little or no training in data management, often causing not only excessive time spent cleaning data but also a risk that the data set contains collection or recording errors. The implementation of simple guidelines based on techniques used ...
متن کاملLICSS - a chemical spreadsheet in microsoft excel
BACKGROUND Representations of chemical datasets in spreadsheet format are important for ready data assimilation and manipulation. In addition to the normal spreadsheet facilities, chemical spreadsheets need to have visualisable chemical structures and data searchable by chemical as well as textual queries. Many such chemical spreadsheet tools are available, some operating in the familiar Micros...
