Dear All (especially Helmut who has posted this),

I'm back to an old subject of this forum, but I haven't find an answer in a new topic. So, this is my question:
In this table you have computed one-sided 80% CI of different CVintra and presented the Upper Limit:

   n  10%   15%   20%   30%   40%    50%

   4  21.4  32.4  43.8  68.7  97.2  131

   6  15.6  23.6  31.6  48.2  65.8   84.8

  12  12.7  19.1  25.6  38.7  52.1   66.0

  16  12.2  18.3  24.4  36.9  49.5   62.5

  24  11.6  17.5  23.3  35.1  47.1   59.8

  32  11.3  17.0  22.7  34.2  45.8   57.6


The value of 80% CI is discussed and challenged in the thread (75%?...). I agree with your rationale. Furthermore, in a more recent post there is discussions and examples with two-sided 95% CI, both with R code (alpha/2) or CVCL() function in PowerTOST.
So, did you have rules (personnal SOP or references) for the % of CI (75, 80, 95...) and if it is more relevant with one-sided or two-sided CI?

All the best,
Jérôme

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
