Confidence Interval Estimate: a range of values so constructed that a specified proportion of the intervals costructed that way would contain the true value of a parameter. Critical Value: a point on ...

Inferences on the parameters in a two-parameter exponential lifetime model when the data are Type I censored are limited to asymptotic approximations or to conditional constructions around the ...

In this program, the quasi-Newton technique is used to maximize the likelihood function. You can replace the quasi-Newton routine by other optimization routines, such as the NLPNRR subroutine, which ...

Study: Genomic epidemiology offers high resolution estimates of serial intervals for COVID-19. Image Credit: ETAJOE/Shutterstock.com In infectious disease control, serial intervals are critical ...

Accurate estimation of home-range size often requires large numbers of observations. Radiotelemetry and direct observation are capable of yielding large sample sizes in a short period of time, but ...

The number needed to treat, that is, the average number of patients a clinician needs to treat with a particular therapy to prevent one bad outcome,1 is a translation into clinical terms of the ...
