  • Title: Calculating confidence intervals for threshold and post-test probabilities.
    Author: Hozo I, Djulbegovic B.
    Journal: MD Comput; 1998; 15(2):110-5. PubMed ID: 9540324.
    Abstract:
    We describe a method and a computer program, written in JavaScript, for calculating confidence intervals. The method uses Taylor's series to approximate the standard errors of a post-test probability and threshold probabilities and, from them, to obtain the associated confidence intervals. This method is valid if the variables of interest are stochastically independent.
