English term or phrase: the upper 99.5% confidence bound
La oración completa dice: "We calculated the upper 99.5% confidence bound for the frequency of a clinically important intracranial abnormality both in our patient group and in data from the literature reviews."
El texto trata de un estudio estadístico sobre anomalías intracraneales. Según lo que investigué, confidence bound puede traducirse como "umbral/intervalo de confianza" pero no termino de entender la función que cumple "upper" en la frase. Desde ya muchas gracias por la ayuda.

neutral  DLyons: I think there's a Statistically more precise way of putting this. // The answer I posted below gives the actual value (and a way of calculating it) so there's no possibility of any misinterpretation. There's a discussion entry that expands on what I mean

  -> What is it? I'd like to know.

neutral  M. C. Filgueira: Estoy de acuerdo con DLyons. Hablando con precisión, la expresión usual es "límite superior [o 'inferior"] del intervalo de confianza del X %". Saludos.

el valor máximo del intervalo de confianza al 99.5%


Explanation:
el intervalo de confianza al 99.5% = [m-2.807*SE(m), m+2.807*SE(m)]

De donde "the upper 99.5% confidence bound" = m+2.807*SE(m)
(dado varias hipótesis)

In Spanish, of course it's 99,5% :-)
