Math Seminar on Sample Size and Confidence Intervals

February 1, 2016

Tuesday, March 8 from 11 a.m – noon; Whitman 183 (CAMS)
Topic: Relationship Between Two Sample and One Sample Confidence Intervals

Assistant Professor Chunhui Yu will present.

All interested students and faculty are welcome to Department of Mathematics seminars.

The abstract is as follows: “In practice, when comparing the mean of two independent samples (say μ_1and μ_2), practitioners sometimes just look at the individual confidence intervals (say I_1and I_2), and claim that their mean difference (μ_1-μ_2)is significantly different from 0 (WOLOG) if the two individual confidence intervals corresponding to each mean does not overlap and non-significant if they overlap. In this talk, based on several asymptotic cases, we will discuss in detail the relationship between two sample and one sample confidence intervals and give corresponding suggestions.”
