Estimated Response
Represents an estimated response based on an independent sample. For the case of sample size 1 (count equals 1) the variance will be undefined (Double.NaN).
Parameters
the name of the response that was estimated
the sample average of the sample
the sample variance of the sample
the number of observations in the sample
Properties
Functions
Combine this estimate with another independent estimate
Computes the pooled variance when combining samples from the same population. The pooling process assumes a weighted average of the variances. In the case where each estimate only has count equal to 1, the variance is computed from the two data points. In the cases where the pooled sample will have 3 elements, the variance associated with the sample size of 2 is used. In the cases where both samples have 2 or more elements, a weighted pooled variance is computed.
Computes the pair-wise screening width assuming that the estimates are independent. This width is used to specify screening intervals within screening procedures. This quantity is the square root of the sum of squared half-widths of the estimates.
