Bootstrap confidence intervals for Mean Average Precision
Due to the unconstrained nature of language, search engines (such as the Google search engine) are developed and compared by obtaining a document set, a sample set of queries and the associated relevance judgements for the queries on the document set. The de facto standard function used to measure the accuracy of each search engine on the test data is called mean Average Precision (AP). It is c...
متن کاملRobust Confidence Intervals for Average Treatment Effects under Limited Overlap
Robust Confidence Intervals for Average Treatment Effects under Limited Overlap Estimators of average treatment effects under unconfounded treatment assignment are known to become rather imprecise if there is limited overlap in the covariate distributions between the treatment groups. But such limited overlap can also have a detrimental effect on inference, and lead for example to highly distor...
متن کاملStabilizing bootstrap-t confidence intervals for small samples
A major use of the bootstrap methodology is in the construction of nonparametric confidence intervals. Although no consensus has yet been reached on the best way to proceed, theoretical and empirical evidence indicate that bootstrap-t intervals provide a reasonable solution to this problem. However, when applied to small data sets, these intervals can be unusually wide and unstable. The author ...
متن کاملExact average coverage probabilities and confidence coefficients of confidence intervals for discrete distributions
For a confidence interval (L(X),U(X)) of a parameter θ in one-parameter discrete distributions, the coverage probability is a variable function of θ . The confidence coefficient is the infimum of the coverage probabilities, infθ Pθ (θ ∈ (L(X),U(X))). Since we do not know which point in the parameter space the infimum coverage probability occurs at, the exact confidence coefficients are unknown....
متن کاملConfidence intervals of similarity values determined for cloned SSU rRNA genes from environmental samples.
The goal of this research was to investigate the influence of the error rate of sequence determination on the differentiation of cloned SSU rRNA gene sequences for assessment of community structure. SSU rRNA cloned sequences from groundwater samples that represent different bacterial divisions were sequenced multiple times with the same sequencing primer. From comparison of sequence alignments ...
