Confidence interval for a coefficient of quartile variation
نویسنده
چکیده
An approximate confidence interval is proposed for a robust measure of relative dispersion—the coefficient of quartile variation. The proposed method provides an alternative to interval estimates for other measures of relative dispersion. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

On Simple Confidence Intervals for the Normal Mean with Known Coefficient of Variation
In this paper we proposed the new confidence interval for the normal population mean with a known coefficient of variation. In practice, this situation occurs normally in environment and agriculture sciences where we know the standard deviation is proportional to the mean. As a result, the coefficient of variation of is known. We propose the new confidence interval based on the best unbiased es...
متن کاملApproximate Confidence Interval for the Reciprocal of a Normal Mean with a Known Coefficient of Variation
An approximate confidence interval for the reciprocal of a normal population mean with a known coefficient of variation is proposed. This has applications in the area of nuclear physics, agriculture and economic when the researcher knows the coefficient of variation. The proposed confidence interval is based on the approximate expectation and variance of the estimator by Taylor series expansion...
متن کاملSample size planning for the coefficient of variation from the accuracy in parameter estimation approach.
The accuracy in parameter estimation approach to sample size planning is developed for the coefficient of variation, where the goal of the method is to obtain an accurate parameter estimate by achieving a sufficiently narrow confidence interval. The first method allows researchers to plan sample size so that the expected width of the confidence interval for the population coefficient of variati...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for the Normal Mean with Known Coefficient of Variation
In this paper we proposed two new confidence intervals for the normal population mean with known coefficient of variation. This situation occurs normally in environment and agriculture experiments where the scientist knows the coefficient of variation of their experiments. We propose two new confidence intervals for this problem based on the recent work of Searls [5] and the new method proposed...
متن کاملErythrocyte omega-3, omega-6 and trans fatty acids in relation to risk of preeclampsia among women delivering at Harare Maternity Hospital, Zimbabwe.
We sought to examine the association between maternal erythrocyte omega-3, omega-6 and trans fatty acids and risk of preeclampsia. We conducted a case-control study of 170 women with proteinuric, pregnancy-induced hypertension and 185 normotensive pregnant women who delivered at Harare Maternity Hospital, Harare, Zimbabwe. We measured erythrocyte omega-3, omega-6 and trans fatty acid as the per...
