They concluded that bootstrap confidence intervals work as well as Bayesian intervals concerning average coverage probability. Additionally, bootstrap confidence intervals appear to be better for ...

Although it is well known that modern methods of computing confidence intervals (CIs) based on likelihood or simulation have important advantages, normal approximation confidence interval procedures ...

Such a range is called a confidence interval. The usual convention is to report 95% confidence intervals, which mean we can be 95% confident the interval includes the true average reduction in pain.

These intervals and bands are illustrated by data on the survival of salmon suffering from the Hitra disease, and their small sample performance is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The ...
