Generalized Confidence Intervals and Fiducial Intervals for Some Epidemiological Measures

Abstract: For binary outcome data from epidemiological studies, this article investigates the interval estimation of several measures of interest in the absence or presence of categorical covariates. When covariates are present, the logistic regression model as well as the log-binomial model are investigated. The measures considered include the common odds ratio (OR) from several studies, the number needed to treat (NNT), and the prevalence ratio. For each parameter, confidence intervals are constructed using the concep… Show more

“…By using this logarithma, the value of the number can go down depending on what base logarithm is used. This principle is what researchers take to reduce the range of numbers in very high datasets [18]. In this study, the working principle of logarithms is combined with the min-max method on data normalization to get optimal performance.…”

“…In view of the low sensitivity of the confidence interval technique (Bebu et al 2016) to the type of distribution, and the P≤0.05 level acceptable for experimental medical-biological studies, this level of significance was chosen to confirm the statistical hypothesis. All the calculations were performed with Microsoft Excel Office 2010 software.…”
