Hi, I have a bunch of datasets with approximately 350 columns. I would like to use the pivot table function in Excel to average across the labels. The columns goes something like this: I1 I2 I3 I4 I5 T1 T2 T3 I1 I2 T1 T2 T3 . . . So as you can see, they don't have much of a pattern to them, wh

I want to buy an intro. book on logistic regression. I am encountering cases of experimentation that we need to do with ordinal, nominal, binary responses. One important thing is sample size (i.e., number of experimental units, or repetitions for the experiment), so I would like the book to addr

Possibly my lack of tranquillity has been underestimated and the seriousness of my suggestion overestimated. In any event, the current discussion is a big improvment over the earlier one, which seems to have retired to another realm. - Forwarded message from Muriel Strand - yes that i

Confidence Interval for a ratio

How would you calculate the standard deviation of a ratio? i.e.We have: Nt ± SD (population at time t; mean ± SD) N0 ± SD (population at time 0; mean ± SD) Survival ratio at time t = Nt/N0 Is there any way to have a confidence interval
