New tool transforms confidence intervals into user-friendly formats for easy integration.
The article introduces a tool called ciform, which helps format confidence intervals for tables in documents. It takes estimates, lower confidence limits, and upper confidence limits as input and creates formatted strings for these values. These formatted values can be easily imported into word processors or spreadsheets for inclusion in tables. ciform is designed to work with parmest, a tool that saves model fits as new datasets with variables for point estimates and confidence limits.
