Calculation of Confidence Interval   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3436 of 4107 |
Hi everybody,

This is my question. I have two set of data: set A (from A1 to A8) and set B
(also from B1 to B8). Each value of both sets are calculated as average of a
distinct group of measures and has its associated standard deviation.

Then I have another set of value (set C, the one I want to plot as final
results) which is calculated as the ratio between each A value and correspondent
B value (for example A1/B1, A2/B2, ecc.).

How can I calculate a confidence interval for set C values to use to plot error
bars?

Thanks a lot.
Edoardo

Edoardo, I assume you want a confidence interval for the mean of the population which is generating Dataset C? One approach would be to calculate the...

Generally to calculate Confidence Interval for ratio data, we calculate it using Fieller's theorem. I think same will be applicable in your case as well.   ...
