Discrepancies in reference material for median MOE #11

Closed sastoudt closed 5 years ago

sastoudt commented 5 years ago

For the calculation of SE(50 percent) there are different numerators used depending on the particular reference.

page 2 step A uses 99.

page 22 in Example 3 uses 95.

There are also different denominators used (B and 5B respectively).

We currently use 99 and B.
