What is Confidence Intervals (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences) about?

<p>Smithson first introduces the basis of the confidence interval framework and then provides the criteria for best confidence intervals, along with the tradeoffs between confidence and precision. Next, using a reader-friendly style with lots of worked out examples from various disciplines, he covers such pertinent topics as&#58; the transformation principle whereby a confidence interval for a parameter may be used to construct an interval for any monotonic transformation of that parameter; confidence intervals on distributions whose shape changes with the value of the parameter being estimated; and, the relationship between confidence interval and significance testing frameworks, particularly regarding power. </i></b></p>
