Reporting 95% CI

Post by choiswf »

Dear experts,

I choose Bias-Corrected and Accelerated (BCa) Bootstrap, two-tailed testing, and a significance level of 0.05 to do the dataset calculation.

My question is, which results I should use for reporting 95% Confidence Intervals, whether it is the results under the tab "Confidence Intervals" or the tab "Confidence Intervals Bias Corrected"?

And what's the differences in between?

Thank you so much for your help!

If you want to report the bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrapping confidence intervals you should report the values under "Confidence Intervals Bias Corrected" otherwise they will not be bias-corrected and accelerated, but normal percentile intervals.
