CIOnePopVar

public CIOnePopVar(double confidenceLevel,
                   int n,
                   double variance)
Constructor.

Parameters:
confidenceLevel - confidence level, between 0 and 1
n - sample size
variance - sample variance
Method Detail

lowerLimit

public double lowerLimit()
Returns the lower limit of the confidence interval. (n-1)*s^2 / XR^2, where XR is the inverse cumulative probability of the chi-square distribution at 1 - alpha/2 (alpha is the signifiance level).

Returns:
lower limit

upperLimit

public double upperLimit()
Returns the upper limit of the confidence interval. (n-1)*s^2 / XL^2, where XL is the inverse cumulative probability of the chi-square distribution at alpha/2 (alpha is the significance level).

Returns:
upper limit

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
Returns a string representing the confidence interval of the variance (lower limit, upper limit).

Overrides:
toString in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
string

stdevCI

public java.lang.String stdevCI()
Returns a string representing the confidence interval of the standard deviation (lower limit, upper limit);

Returns:
string
