The upper confidence level is 1 - α = 0.95.
In order to draw reasonable assumptions beyond 1 year, mortality and HF hospitalization rates at 1 year in the SO group were adjusted as an average between the actual rate and the upper confidence interval limit (CI) from the CLEAR post-hoc analysis (Fig. 1).
In this figure, the red dotted line represents the upper confidence limit of the ACF values.
Interestingly, the upper confidence limit indicates a very recent increase in population size.
The seroconversions in February 2012 were above the upper confidence limit for prediction of the proportion of seroconversions for February 2012 (6% vs 2% as the upper confidence limit).
The upper confidence limit is the value of the larger root.
Data for octaCDD scattered in some cases distinctly above the upper confidence limit.
When only a single root is found, we set the upper confidence limit to infinity.
The assay cut point was derived from the 95% upper confidence limit after removal of outliers.
Significant peaks (peaks with a bar height beyond the upper or lower confidence limit) in the cross-correlation function plot determined the lag numbers for further analysis.
