Registercalculation of 90% CI for continuous variable in clinical endpoint studies [General Statistics]
Hi GM,
Why is it that you want the endpoint to be untransformed?
Statistically normal distributions are wonderful because any two normal distributions added (= subtracted) will yield a new normal distrution. But try and divide them and you are facing a mathematical challenge that is in no way straightforward to deal with.
If you want to do a parametric CI on a ratio then the only way forward that I know of is a transformation one way or another so that the endpoint can reasonably be assumed normal.
So I am sorry that I cannot answer your question in the way you have asked it. Having said this I am of the impression that you don't really need a 90% CI for a ratio of untransformed means.
❝ How can we will calculate 90% CI for ratio of means of untransformed continuous variable using PROC GLM in SAS.
