Some time ago in a post to this list
(http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2003-08/msg00288.html ) Roger
Newson provided a reference supporting the reporting of confidence
intervals versus P values:
Douglas Altman, David Machin, Trevor Bryant, Martin Gardner. Statistics
with Confidence. London: British Medical Journal Books; 2000. ISBN: 0727913751
Can anyone supply other references, (particularly papers v. books)
supporting the preference for reporting confidence intervals?
In case Buzz does not have a copy of the Altman et al. book, one of its
key references supporting confidence intervals is
Rothman K. A vote of confidence. New England Journal of Medicine 1978;
299: 1362-1363.
I hope this helps.
