Hell, I was asked to use confidence interval as well as average values for by bs thesis when doing ml benchmarks and scientist publishing results in medical fields aren't doing it...

How can something like that happen? I mean, i had a supervisor tell me "add the confidence interval to the results as well", and explained me why. I guess that at nobody ever told them? Or they didn't care? Or it's just a honest mistake




Is it because it’s word-of-mouth and not written down in some NSF (or other organization) guidance? Thiss seems to be the issue


That might be, but couldn't a paper be asked to include that to be published? It looks like an important information
