 Confidence limits [General Sta­tis­tics]

Hi all,

Greetings!

Kindly help me in knowing how can we change the values lying between confidence Interval of (-20% to 20%) e.g (90% lower limit (-1.07) & 90% upper limit (-0.30)) into the values lying between the CI (80-125)%.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Anu
Could you please repeat your question in other words? I do not get the sense.
Kind regards
Dan

Kind regards and have a nice day

 Confidence limits

Hi Dr_ Dan,

❝ Could you please repeat your question in other words? I do not get the sense.


Sorry if the language was not clear.
I just need to know in FDA the accepted confidence intervals ranges are (80%-125%) & (-20% to +20%).
I have a data for a reference product whose 90% CI is (-1.07% to -0.30%) on the CI scale of (-20% to +20%).
I want to transform it into the CI scale of (80%-125%).
Can I do this?


Thanks & Regards
Anu

 Still unclear…

Hi Anu,

❝ I just need to know in FDA the accepted confidence intervals ranges are (80%-125%) & (-20% to +20%).


The acceptance range is 80.00–125.00% (90% CI in percent rounded to two decimals).

❝ I have a data for a reference product whose 90% CI is (-1.07% to -0.30%) on the CI scale of (-20% to +20%).


This doesn’t makes sense to me. Do you mean data for a test product (in % of the reference)?

❝ I want to transform it into the CI scale of (80%-125%).

❝ Can I do this?


Duno. I don’t believe in these numbers – where do they come from? In % of the reference the CI would be 98.93–99.70%. Assuming a 2×2 cross-over that would translate even for the smallest acceptable sample size of 12 into a CV of 0.52% [sic]. Simply impossible.

 Is it still unclear :( ?

Hi Helmut,

❝ This doesn’t makes sense to me. Do you mean data for a test product (in % of the reference)?


Actually the 90% CI is for the test-reference

❝ Duno. I don’t believe in these numbers – where do they come from?


I don't have any raw data, just got this confidence interval (on -20% to +20%) scale from my boss. And its a two way cross over study with 21 subjects. On the basis of which my objective is to calculate the sample size. Which I will be doing with R software and the FARTSSIE Excel sheet. So, it came in my mind why not to transform this CI into (80.00 to 125.00)%. It should be possible? Does there exist any such transformation relation between these two different CI scales i.e (80.00 to 125.00)% and (-20.00 to +20.00)?

Thanks & Regards
Anu

Hi,

??? You mean from PK data or just the confidence interval values?

Hi John,

Need to transform just the confidence interval values.

Hi Anu,

❝ Need to transform just the confidence interval values.


If you have CI results on the log-scale then you just need to exponentiate them. Which is what your protocol also says, right?

Judging the numbers you have it does, however, sound like something went seriously pear-shaped with the BE study, the formulation or the data evaluation. Please paste the raw untransformed data and let's have a look.

Pass or fail!

Right.

Right now I don't have the raw data, will definitely upload once I'll have it.
