  2. 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% ...

  3. 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.

  4. Sensitivity and specificity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_and_specificity

    Confidence intervals for sensitivity and specificity can be calculated, giving the range of values within which the correct value lies at a given confidence level (e.g., 95%). [ 26 ] Terminology in information retrieval

  5. Prediction interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_interval

    For example, to calculate the 95% prediction interval for a normal distribution with a mean (μ) of 5 and a standard deviation (σ) of 1, then z is approximately 2. Therefore, the lower limit of the prediction interval is approximately 5 ‒ (2⋅1) = 3, and the upper limit is approximately 5 + (2⋅1) = 7, thus giving a prediction interval of ...

  6. 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.

  7. 97.5th percentile point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/97.5th_percentile_point

    The approximate value of this number is 1.96, meaning that 95% of the area under a normal curve lies within approximately 1.96 standard deviations of the mean. Because of the central limit theorem, this number is used in the construction of approximate 95% confidence intervals. Its ubiquity is due to the arbitrary but common convention of using ...

  8. Credible interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credible_interval

    For example, in an experiment that determines the distribution of possible values of the parameter , if the probability that lies between 35 and 45 is =, then is a 95% credible interval. Credible intervals are typically used to characterize posterior probability distributions or predictive probability distributions. [ 1 ]

  9. Diagnostic odds ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_odds_ratio

    Interpretation [ edit ] The diagnostic odds ratio ranges from zero to infinity, although for useful tests it is greater than one, and higher diagnostic odds ratios are indicative of better test performance. [ 1 ]
