Statistical Inference by Confidence Intervals: Issues of Interpretation
... has been shown to be real, based on probabilistic statistics, it may be of little practical importance. On a 10-cm VAS, a difference between treatments of 3.48 mm is relatively minimal and could be outweighed by other features of the more successful treatment (eg, it might be more expensive or requi ...

The usefulness of the t procedures in practice therefore depends on how strongly they are affected by lack of normality. A confidence interval or signifi ...

The power of the theorem comes in putting no constraints on the form of the distributions of the variables summed. However, if the distributions are quite d ...

An interval estimate can be computed by adding and subtracting a margin of error to the point estimate. Point Estimate +/- Margin of Error The purpose of an interval estimate is to provide information about ...

Bootstrapping (statistics)
In statistics, bootstrapping can refer to any test or metric that relies on random sampling with replacement. Bootstrapping allows assigning measures of accuracy (defined in terms of bias, variance, confidence intervals, prediction error or some other such measure) to sample estimates. This technique allows estimation of the sampling distribution of almost any statistic using random sampling methods. Generally, it falls in the broader class of resampling methods.Bootstrapping is the practice of estimating properties of an estimator (such as its variance) by measuring those properties when sampling from an approximating distribution. One standard choice for an approximating distribution is the empirical distribution function of the observed data. In the case where a set of observations can be assumed to be from an independent and identically distributed population, this can be implemented by constructing a number of resamples with replacement, of the observed dataset (and of equal size to the observed dataset).It may also be used for constructing hypothesis tests. It is often used as an alternative to statistical inference based on the assumption of a parametric model when that assumption is in doubt, or where parametric inference is impossible or requires complicated formulas for the calculation of standard errors.
