Inferential Methods for the Tetrachoric Correlation Coefficient.
TL;DR: A new and simple method of accurately approximating the tetrachoric correlation is introduced and is used to derive a simple standard error, confidence interval, and sample size planning formula, which is shown to perform far better than the confidence interval computed by SAS.

An improved confidence interval for a linear function of binomial proportions
TL;DR: A simple adjustment to a Wald confidence interval is proposed to estimate a linear function of binomial proportions, an extension to the adjusted Wald confidence intervals for proportions and their differences that have recently been proposed.

TL;DR: Sleep apnea is associated with microvascular complications even in well-controlled DM-2 veterans, and screening for OSAS should be considered in patients with DM-1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Estimating the variance of the sample median
TL;DR: In this article, the small-sample bias and root mean squared error of several distribution-free estimators of the variance of the sample median are examined, and a new estimator is proposed that is easy to compute and tends to have the smallest bias.

Estimating the ratio of two Poisson rates
TL;DR: In this paper, classical and Bayesian methods for interval estimation of the ratio of two independent Poisson rates are examined and compared in terms of their exact coverage properties, and two methods to determine sampling effort requirements are derived.
