This article provides a way to determine adequate sample size for the confidence interval of covariate-adjusted mean difference in randomized experiments. The standard error of adjusted mean difference depends on covariate variance and balance, which are two unknown quantities at the stage of...

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is one of the most frequently used statistical analyses in practical applications. Accordingly, the single and multiple comparison procedures are frequently applied to assess the differences among mean effects. However, the underlying assumption of homogeneous...

Care must be taken when interpreting the coefficients of dummy variables in semi-logarithmic regression models. Existing results in the literature provide the best unbiased estimator of the percentage change in the dependent variable, implied by the coefficient of a dummy variable, and of the...

A recent comparative analysis of alternative interval estimation approaches and procedures has shown that confidence intervals (CIs) for true raw scores determined with the Score method—which uses the normal approximation to the binomial distribution—have actual coverage...
