Some other solutions, including code, are provided at epa.gov/oswer/riskassessment/pdf/ucl.pdf--but read this with a heavy grain of salt, because at least one method described there (the "Chebyshev Inequality Method") is just plain wrong. | |

| Jul 31, 2012 at 8:53 | comment | added | Erik | You are quite right. This approach does not generally work and often yields confidence intervals that do not include the population mean or even the sample mean. Here is some discussion on it: amstat.org/publications/jse/v13n1/olsson.html This is not an answer, since I did not look into the matter enough to actually comment on the link in detail. | |
