Confidence Intervals for Computational Effort Comparisons
نویسندگان
چکیده
When researchers make alterations to the genetic programming algorithm they almost invariably wish to measure the change in performance of the evolutionary system. No one specific measure is standard, but Koza’s computational effort statistic is frequently used [8]. In this paper the use of Koza’s statistic is discussed and a study is made of three methods that produce confidence intervals for the statistic. It is found that an approximate 95% confidence interval can be easily produced.

A Model for Measurement Error for Gene Expression Arrays
We introduce a model for measurement error in gene expression arrays as a function of the expression level. This model, together with analysis methods, data transformations, and weighting, allows much more precise comparisons of gene expression, and provides guidance for analysis of background, determination of confidence intervals, and preprocessing data for multivariate analysis.
متن کاملA confidence interval analysis of sampling effort, sequencing depth, and taxonomic resolution of fungal community ecology in the era of high-throughput sequencing
High-throughput sequencing technology has helped microbial community ecologists explore ecological and evolutionary patterns at unprecedented scales. The benefits of a large sample size still typically outweigh that of greater sequencing depths per sample for accurate estimations of ecological inferences. However, excluding or not sequencing rare taxa may mislead the answers to the questions 'h...
متن کاملExact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean
A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data. So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice. Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult. So far, many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided. It is known that the coverag...
متن کاملNonparametric Confidence Intervals Based on Extreme Bootstrap Percentiles
Monte Carlo approximation of standard bootstrap confidence intervals relies on the drawing of a large number, B say, of bootstrap resamples. Conventional choice of B is often made on the order of 1,000. While this choice may prove to be more than sufficient for some cases, it may be far from adequate for others. A new approach is suggested to construct confidence intervals based on extreme boot...
متن کاملBootstrap confidence intervals of CNpk for type‑II generalized log‑logistic distribution
This paper deals with construction of confidence intervals for process capability index using bootstrap method (proposed by Chen and Pearn in Qual Reliab Eng Int 13(6):355–360, 1997) by applying simulation technique. It is assumed that the quality characteristic follows type-II generalized log-logistic distribution introduced by Rosaiah et al. in Int J Agric Stat Sci 4(2):283–292, (2008). Discu...
