Abstract: The areas of overlap of confidence intervals from several studies can be used to create summary confidence regions. These summary regions lend themselves to graphical display, have readily derivable statistical properties, and can carry information about the influence both of available studies and of hypothetical future investigations. The case of a region covered by at least N-1 out of N confidence intervals is presented in some detail. (Am J Public Health 1988; 78:961-966.) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
