Adding confidence to our injury burden estimates: is bootstrapping the solution?
Estimating uncertainty CIs convey the uncertainty about a point estimate (in this case, an injury burden rate) and are thus crucial for interpreting results and informing decision-making. Injury burden estimates have typically been modelled using the Poisson distribution.5 Using this approach, the precision around the burden estimate is driven entirely by ‘N’ in Equation 1.5 Equation 1. However, several different values for ‘N’ in Equation 1 have been used within the literature.

But the belly of each comprises an ambrosial, parallel dimension, limitless in divine and earthly delights, and accessible only to true believers, as the Holy Grail was to Lancelot.
