Abstract:
The variance component ratio delta = (theta 1 + d theta 2)/theta 3 is of interest in many fields of application. This paper proposes and compares two methods for constructing confidence intervals on delta. The better method is compared with a method proposed by Graybill and Wang (1979, Journal of the American Statistical Association 74, 368-374) for the special problem of constructing an interval on sigma 2E/(sigma 2A + sigma 2B + sigma 2E) in a two-fold nested design. An example concerning a heritability study is provided.

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...
