Effective 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 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...
متن کاملGeneralized Confidence Intervals and Fiducial Intervals for Some Epidemiological Measures
For binary outcome data from epidemiological studies, this article investigates the interval estimation of several measures of interest in the absence or presence of categorical covariates. When covariates are present, the logistic regression model as well as the log-binomial model are investigated. The measures considered include the common odds ratio (OR) from several studies, the number need...
متن کاملComputing Confidence Intervals for Common IR Measures
Confidence intervals quantify the uncertainty in an average and offer a robust alternative to hypothesis testing. We measure the performance of standard and bootstrapped confidence intervals on a number of common IR measures using several TREC and NTCIR collections. The performance of an interval is its empirical coverage of the estimated statistic. We find that both standard and bootstrapped i...
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 ...
