Same or Different? Comparing the Coverage Rate of Five Different Approaches for Testing the Difference of Two Groups Means by Bittmann, Felix

“…We utilize the coverage of confidence intervals as it corresponds to nominal type-I-error rates (Alpha), yet is more adequate since confidence intervals are preferred in contrast to p-values, which often facilitate binary conclusions. …”
