Confidence limits, error bars and method comparison in molecular modeling. Part 1: The calculation of confidence intervals
Computational chemistry is a largely empirical field that makes predictions with substantial uncertainty. And yet the use of standard statistical methods to quantify this uncertainty is often absent from published reports. This article covers the basics of confidence interval estimation for molecular modeling using classical statistics. Alternate approaches such as non-parametric statistics and...
متن کاملResearchers misunderstand confidence intervals and standard error bars.
Little is known about researchers' understanding of confidence intervals (CIs) and standard error (SE) bars. Authors of journal articles in psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and medicine were invited to visit a Web site where they adjusted a figure until they judged 2 means, with error bars, to be just statistically significantly different (p < .05). Results from 473 respondents suggest that...
متن کاملComparison of five introduced confidence intervals for the binomial proportion
So far many confidence intervals were introduced for the binomial proportion. In this paper, our purpose is comparing five well known based on their exact confidence coefficient and average coverage probability.
متن کاملWhat is confidence? Part 1: The use and interpretation of confidence intervals.
Hypothesis testing and the P value it generates are overemphasized in statistical analyses published in medical journals. An alternative, the confidence interval (CI), offers significantly more information to readers interpreting results. There have been many authoritative calls for the report of CIs in place of P values, such as that of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, w...
متن کاملLimits and Confidence Intervals in the Presence of Nuisance Parameters
We study the frequentist properties of confidence intervals computed by the method known to statisticians as the profile likelihood. It is seen that the coverage of these intervals is surprisingly good over a wide range of possible parameter values for important classes of problems, in particular whenever there are additional nuisance parameters with statistical or systematic errors. Programs a...
