Abstract:
The simultaneous comparison of proportions of success between many treatments and one control group is a common problem in randomized clinical trials or toxicity studies. In this article, three recently recommended asymptotic confidence interval approaches for the difference of proportions are adjusted for multiplicity, taking the correlation into account. The coverage probability of the resulting interval methods is compared in a simulation study using parameter settings relevant for clinical trials. For moderate to small sample sizes, a method adding two successes and two failures can be recommended. The usage of the proposed methods is illustrated by two examples; an R package is available.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...

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...
