Elementary texts typically use a normal approximation, inverted from a Wald statistic, to estimate [pi] under the condition min{n[pi], n(1 - [pi])} [greater than or equal to] 5. If p is small, the normal approximation to the binomial distribution is inadequate, mainly due to skewness in the exact distribution. The GMTs of the samples from preseason farm participants were compared to the GMTs of the urban control sera by using Wilcoxon rank sum analysis with normal approximation. |
