Signature

   def     _allowance (    self    ,    confidence_level  :  DecimalNumber    =  0.95   ,    tol  :  DecimalNumber    =  0.001     )   →  float

Summary

Allowance.

Extended Summary

It is the quantity to add/subtract from the observed difference between the means of observed groups and the mean of the control group. The result gives confidence limits.

Parameters

confidence_level : float, optional: Confidence level for the computed confidence interval. Default is .95.
tol : float, optional: A tolerance for numerical optimization: the allowance will produce a confidence within 10*tol*(1 - confidence_level) of the specified level, or a warning will be emitted. Tight tolerances may be impractical due to noisy evaluation of the objective. Default is 1e-3.

Returns

allowance : float: Allowance around the mean.
