New Confidence: Optimizing Benchmark Dose Modeling to Improve Risk Assessment
Benchmark dose (BMD) modeling has been touted as a more accu rate method for conducting chemical risk assessments. In this issue of EHP, a team of researchers applied BMD modeling to hundreds of chemicals whose health effects are already known in an effort to optimize the approach. To calculate the highest safe oral dose of a noncarcinogenic chem ical, regulators must first estimate the point...
متن کاملEstimation of Subpopulation Parameters in One-stage Cluster Sampling Design
Sometimes in order to estimate population parameters such as mean and total values, we extract a random sample by cluster sampling method, and after completing sampling, we are interested in using the same sample to estimate the desired parameters in a subset of the population, which is said subpopulation. In this paper, we try to estimate subpopulation parameters in different cases when one-st...
متن کاملEfficient confidence limits for adaptive one-arm two-stage clinical trials with binary endpoints
BACKGROUND Recently, several adaptive one-arm two-stage designs have been developed by fully using the information from previous stages to reduce the expected sample size in clinical trials with binary endpoints as primary outcome. It is important to compute exact confidence limits for these studies. METHODS In this article, we propose three new one-sided limits by ordering the sample space b...
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...
متن کاملEvaluation of distribution-free confidence limits for enzyme kinetic parameters.
Monte Carlo experiments have been used to test the robustness of distribution-free confidence limits for the parameters of the MichaelisMenten equation (Porter & Trager, 1977). When used in conjunction with the modified form of the direct linear plot (Cornish-Bowden & Eisenthal, 1978), they prove to be more robust than least-squares confidence limits. In circumstances where the least-squares as...
