Confidence interval is the human-made procedure of computing a numeric range from sample data that, under repeated independent sampling, captures the true population parameter at a specified long-run frequency (the confidence level, e.g., 0.95). Parameters: (1) a point estimate computed from the sample, (2) a standard error quantifying sampling variability, (3) a critical value from a specified reference distribution, (4) a confidence level expressing the desired coverage frequency. Persists through statistical textbooks, software implementations, and reporting conventions. [formal: intervalum confidens | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.02]

Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition carves well: numeric range from sample data, repeated sampling, captures population parameter, specified long-run frequency. Trailer present.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves: states what confidence interval is (procedure of computing a numeric range), the parameters (repeated independent sampling, long-run frequency capture), and the persistence mechanism (formalized statistical procedure). Trailer present and correct.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves: parameters (numeric range, sample data, repeated sampling, specified frequency), persistence mechanism (statistical practice). Trailer correct. Warranted.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Cuts properly: defines the procedure, states parameters (numeric range, sample data, repeated sampling, specified frequency), and mechanism. Trailer present.
