Asymptotic confidence intervals for the Pearson correlation via skewness and kurtosis.
When bivariate normality is violated, the default confidence interval of the Pearson correlation can be inaccurate. Two new methods were developed based on the asymptotic sampling distribution of Fisher's z' under the general case where bivariate normality need not be assumed. In Monte Carlo simulations, the most successful of these methods relied on the (Vale & Maurelli, 1983, Psychometrika, 4...
متن کاملEffective communication of standard errors and confidence intervals.
When reporting estimates and associated standard errors (ses) or confidence intervals (CIs), the standard formats, “estimate (se)” and “estimate (95% CI: [lower, upper]),” can be confusing in text; in tables they hinder comparisons. Furthermore, some readers can misinterpret the CI format as indicating equal support for all reported values. To remedy these deficits, we recommend formats that (1...
متن کاملSkewness-kurtosis adjusted confidence estimators and significance tests
Correspondence: [email protected] Institute of Mathematics, University of Rostock, Ulmenstraße 69, Haus 3, 18057 Rostock, Germany Abstract First and second kind modifications of usual confidence intervals for estimating the expectation and of usual local alternative parameter choices are introduced in a way such that the asymptotic behavior of the true non-covering probabilitie...
متن کاملCalculating Approximate Standard Errors and Confidence Intervals for Current Population Survey Estimates
Approximate standard errors and confidence intervals for CPS estimates can be calculated using instructions in this document and the parameter and factor tables (PF-1 through PF-16) available online at https://www.bls.gov/cps/parameters-and-factors-for-calculating-standard-errors.xlsx. (These tables mirror tables A-1 through A-16 of the monthly Employment Situation news release.) The parameter ...
متن کاملStandard Errors and Confidence Intervals in Inverse Problems: Sensitivity and Associated Pitfalls
We review the asymptotic theory for standard errors in classical ordinary least squares (OLS) inverse or parameter estimation problems involving general nonlinear dynamical systems where sensitivity matrices can be used to compute the asymptotic covariance matrices. We discuss possible pitfalls in computing standard errors in regions of low parameter sensitivity and/or near a steady state solut...
