hello, can someone tell me if there is a way to estimate a confidence interval for a small non iid sample. i computed a stratified boot.ci but i think it is not reasonable in the case of such a small sample - are there any alternatives, can a conf.interval in this case be estimated at all? for example: data (n = 10) nested within strata (1-3), like: data = c(0.827189928, 0.728301515, 0.514646038, 0.600658064, 0.558828789, 0.553728503, 0.755797662, 0.736486515, 0.773758313, 0.722529142) strata = as.factor(c(rep(1,2),rep(2,4),rep(3,4))) thanks for any hints, kay ----- ------------------------ Kay Cichini Postgraduate student Institute of Botany Univ. of Innsbruck ------------------------ -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/confidence-interval-for-small-non-iid-sample-tp2132804p2132804.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
