This book covers topics such as the transformation principle, confidence intervals, and the relationship between confidence interval and significance testing frameworks. Series: Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences. Num Pages: 104 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: JHBC. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 215 x 140 x 6.

Smithson first introduces the basis of the confidence interval framework and then provides the criteria for "best" confidence intervals, along with the trade-offs between confidence and precision. Next, using a reader-friendly style with lots of worked out examples from various disciplines, he covers such pertinent topics as: the transformation principle whereby a confidence interval for a parameter may be used to construct an interval for any monotonic transformation of that parameter; confidence intervals on distributions whose shape changes with the value of the parameter being estimated; and, the relationship between confidence interval and significance testing frameworks, particularly regarding power.
