How to Define Relative Approximation Error of an Interval Estimate: A Proposal
The traditional definition of a relative approximation error of an estimate x̃ as the ratio |x̃− x| |x| does not work when the actual value x is 0. To avoid this problem, we propose a new definition |x̃− x| |x̃| . We show how this definition can be naturally extended to the case when instead of a numerical estimate x̃, we have an interval estimate [x, x], i.e., an interval that is guaranteed to cont...

Unfortunately, deviations from these simple principles are common in modern consciousness studies, with consequent confusion and internal division in the field. The present paper gives example of ways in ...
