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 کاملConfidence interval estimating procedures for standardized incidence rates
Performances of some common confidence interval construction procedures for direct standardized incidence or mortality rate were compared. The asymptotic method, the method based on matching moments, the method based on gamma distribution and the method based on beta distribution were investigated through Monte Carlo simulations based on data from an epidemiologic study of cardiovascular diseas...
متن کاملOn Choosing a Single Criterion for Confidence-interval Procedures
Stating a confidence interval is a traditional method of indicating the sampling error of a point estimator of a model’s performance measure. We propose a single dimensionless criterion, inspired by Schruben’s coverage function, for evaluating and comparing the statistical quality of confidenceinterval procedures. Procedure quality is usually thought to be multidimensional, composed of the mean...
متن کاملA Graphical Method for Comparing Response-Adaptive Randomization Procedures
Abstract Response-adaptive randomization procedures have a dual goal of estimating the treatment effect and randomizing patients with a higher probability of receiving the superior treatment. These are competing objectives, and no procedure in the literature is “perfect” with respect to both objectives. For clinical trials of two treatments, we discuss metrics for comparing response-adaptive ra...
