  3. Confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval

    [1] [2] The percentage, denoted (95% and 99% are typical values), is a coverage probability, called confidence level, degree of confidence or confidence coefficient; it represents the long-run proportion of CIs (at the given confidence level) that contain the true value of the parameter. For example, out of all intervals computed at the 95% ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

    In the social sciences, a result may be considered statistically significant if its confidence level is of the order of a two-sigma effect (95%), while in particle physics and astrophysics, there is a convention of requiring statistical significance of a five-sigma effect (99.99994% confidence) to qualify as a discovery. [3]

  5. Prediction interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_interval

    Given a sample from a normal distribution, whose parameters are unknown, it is possible to give prediction intervals in the frequentist sense, i.e., an interval [a, b] based on statistics of the sample such that on repeated experiments, X n+1 falls in the interval the desired percentage of the time; one may call these "predictive confidence intervals".

  6. Fan chart (time series) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_chart_(time_series)

    In time series analysis, a fan chart is a chart that joins a simple line chart for observed past data, by showing ranges for possible values of future data together with a line showing a central estimate or most likely value for the future outcomes. As predictions become increasingly uncertain the further into the future one goes, these ...

  7. Forest plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_plot

    The longer the lines, the wider the confidence interval, and the less reliable the data. The shorter the lines, the narrower the confidence interval and the more reliable the data. If either the box or the confidence interval whiskers pass through the y-axis of no effect, the study data is said to be statistically insignificant.

  8. Confidence and prediction bands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_and_prediction...

    Confidence bands can be constructed around estimates of the empirical distribution function.Simple theory allows the construction of point-wise confidence intervals, but it is also possible to construct a simultaneous confidence band for the cumulative distribution function as a whole by inverting the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, or by using non-parametric likelihood methods.

  9. Binomial proportion confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion...

    The probability density function (PDF) for the Wilson score interval, plus PDF s at interval bounds. Tail areas are equal. Since the interval is derived by solving from the normal approximation to the binomial, the Wilson score interval ( , + ) has the property of being guaranteed to obtain the same result as the equivalent z-test or chi-squared test.
