Hi Jack!

❝ In principle it is possible to have a confidence interval that does not include the point estimate that is still valid (i.e. has the correct coverage). It is, however, not something that would be considered a "good" confidence interval because the result of a hypothesis test would not necessarily match the conclusion based on a CI which obviously has all sort of flaws.


THX for the clarification from a Pro. Shows once more that common sense is not always applicable in science. ;-)
