Abstract:
In this study we are concerned with the construction of confidence intervals for the conditional probability of misallocation associated with Anderson's classification statistics, W. The available methods of computing confidence intervals for the conditional probability are not satisfactory in practice, mainly because the intervals obtained are fairly inaccurate. A new method is presented which enables intervals with almost the desired level of confidence to be easily computed from the initial samples on which W is based.

Interpretation of Confidence Intervals
Confidence intervals have confidence coefficients that are crucial for their interpretation. The most common confidence coefficients are 0.90, 0.95, and 0.99, which can be written as percentages–90%, 95%, and 99%, respectively.
Suppose a person calculates a confidence interval with a confidence coefficient of 0.95. In that case, they can...
