Confidence Interval Calculation – How to Calculate Confidence Interval for Geometric Mean

confidence intervalmean

As title, is there anything like this? I know how to calculate CI for arithmetic mean, but how about geometric mean? Thanks.

Best Answer

The geometric mean $(\prod_{i=1}^n X_i)^{1/n}$ is an arithmetic mean after taking logs $1/n \sum_{i=1}^n \log X_i$, so if you do know the CI for the arithmetic mean do the same for the logarithms of your data points and take exponents of the upper and lower bounds.
