I propose a new confidence interval for the difference between two binomial probabilities that requires only the solution of a quadratic equation. The procedure is based one estimating the variance of the observed difference at the boundaries of the confidence interval, and uses least squares estima
Existing methods for setting confidence intervals for the difference between binomial proportions based on paired data perform inadequately. The asymptotic method can produce limits outside the range of validity. The 'exact' conditional method can yield an interval which is effectively only one-side
## Abstract Simultaneous confidence intervals for contrasts of means in a oneβway layout with several independent samples are well established for Gaussian distributed data. Procedures addressing different hypotheses are available, such as all pairwise comparisons or comparisons to control, compari
I propose an exact confidence interval for the ratio of two proportions when the proportions are not independent. One application is to estimate the population prevalence using a screening test with perfect specificity but imperfect sensitivity. The population prevalence is the ratio of the observed
