flimboot: 'FLIM' bootstrap function

In FLIM: Farewell’s Linear Increments Model

Description

flimboot can be used to bootstrap an object of class "flim". The function resamples the original data, and reconstructs each sample with flim.

Usage

flimboot(fo, R, counter = FALSE)
## S3 method for class 'flimboot'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

fo	object of class "flim".
R	number of bootstrap samples.
counter	logical. If TRUE displays a bootstrap sample counter. Works by default on Mac and Linux platforms.
x	object of class "flimboot".
...	not used.

Details

The resampling is performed on the individuals with replacement, so that if an individual is sampled to the bootstrap data, the whole set of longitudinal responses for this individual is included.

Value

flimboot returns an object of class "flimboot".

The function plot.flimboot can be used for plotting reconstructed mean responses of the original "flim" object together with bootstrap confidence bands. Additionally one may calculate the standard errors for the mean response with flimSD.

An object of class "flimboot" contains the following components

org	the original "flim" object.
samples	a list with the bootstrapped "flim" objects.

Note

To access the reconstructed bootstrap datasets if needed, type e.g flimbootobject$samples[[1]]$df for the first sample, flimbootobject$samples[[2]]$df for the second etc.
