Confidence Intervals for Proportions and Related Measures of Effect Size (Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series)

Confidence Intervals for Proportions and Related Measures of Effect Size illustrates the use of effect size measures and corresponding confidence intervals as more informative alternatives to the most basic and widely used significance tests. Medical books Confidence Intervals for Proportions and Related Measures of Effect Size . The book provides you with a deep understanding of what happens when these statistical methods are applied in situations far removed from the familiar Gaussian case.

Drawing on his extensive work as a statistician and professor at Cardiff University School of Medicine, the author brings together methods for calculating confidence intervals for proportions and several other important measures, including differences, ratios, and nonparametric effect size measures generalizing Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. He also explains three important approaches to obtaining intervals for related measures. Many examples illustrate the application of the methods in the health and social sciences Medical books Confidence Intervals for Proportions and Related Measures of Effect Size (Hardcover).

It covers background issues, such as the link between hypothesis tests and confidence intervals and why it is usually preferable to report the latter.
