Abstract
For a bivariate normal distribution with variances and covariance given multiples of an unknown σ2, methods are presented for the combination of several separate estimates of the ratio of means, and for assessing confidence limits when an estimate of σ2 is available. A numerical example is presented of the application of this method in combining estimates of relative potency based on several parallel line assays of insulin.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
