Confidence interval approach for evaluating bias in laboratory methods
A statistically significant difference in mean values between two laboratory quantitation methods is interpreted as a bias. Sometimes such a difference is so minute that it does not constitute any practical concern. An alternative approach is to test statistically whether the two methods are close enough, not for equality. This is to look at the confidence interval of the mean method difference...
متن کاملUsing small bias nonparametric density estimators for confidence interval estimation
Confidence intervals for densities built on the basis of standard nonparametric theory are doomed to have poor coverage rates due to bias. Studies on coverage improvement exist, but reasonably behaved interval estimators are needed. We explore the use of small bias kernel-based methods to construct confidence intervals, in particular using a geometric density estimator that seems better suited ...
متن کاملA confidence interval approach to investigating non-response bias and monitoring response to postal questionnaires.
STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to develop an alternative method of investigating non-response bias in postal surveys, including a method of calculating a final full (100%) coverage confidence interval which avoids the wide intervals of existing approaches. DESIGN AND SETTING As part of a two stage survey of disablement in the community, a first phase postal questionnaire was sent to 25,168 house...
متن کاملStereo Depth Estimation: A Confidence Interval Approach
We describe an estimation technique which, given a measurement of the depth of a target from a wide-fieldof-view (WFOV) stereo camera pair, produces a minimax risk fixed-size confidence interval estimate for the target depth. This work constitutes the first application to the computer vision domain of optimal fixed-size confidenceinterval decision theory. The approach is evaluated in terms of t...
متن کاملA confidence interval approach to data analysis
The objective of ecological experiments is often to determine whether observed effects are large enough to be ecologically important. Despite this, effect size measures and associated measures of precision are frequently missing in published ecological research. In many cases, P-values are the only information available with which to assess the ecological importance of observed effects, but the...
