When working with statistics, OpenOffice.org Calc is handy to calculate a confidence interval. The purpose is to estimate the mean (average) of a population from a sample of the population. As a typical example CNN reported, "63 percent of respondents say [New Orleans] should rebuild" after ...
on average, of any 6 to 7 persons who died of CHD, one case was attributable to smoking with corresponding 95% confidence interval of [3.84, 20.36]. For the exposed cases, the results of ECIN = 2.64 with 95% confidence interval [1.76, 5.29] were obtained. In the Japanese study, the...
Confidence intervals demonstrate how sure researchers are that a mean will lie between two numbers. Identify the importance of point and interval...
Confidence Intervals:A confidence interval is used in statistics when a range of values, that potentially contains a population parameter, is needed. Using a corresponding z-score, an interval can be calculated. Common confidence intervals of 95% and 99% increase the likelihood that the range of...
Equal-tailed confidence intervals that maintain nominal coverage (0.95 or greater probability that a 95% confidence interval covers the true value) are useful in interval-based statistical reliability standards, because they remain conservative. For age-adjusted death rates, while the Fay–Feuer gamma ...
Subject Re: st: calculating the confidence intervals for the difference in predicted values Date Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:00:07 -0700Thanks Maarten for your suggestions. Yes, I expect to get one confidence interval for each observation. The context for this exercise is that, for example, we want...

We describe and provide an algorithm for calculating a classical confidence interval on the expected total number of misclassified events from several bins, based on calibration data with the same probability of misclassification on a bin-by-bin basis. Our method avoids a computationally intensive ...

Check Conditions: Begin by making sure that the conditions for our confidence interval have been met. We assume that the value of the population standard deviation, denoted by theGreek lettersigma σ, is unknown and that we are working with a normal distribution. We can relax the assumption th...
