add_quantile.negbin: Quantiles for the Response of a Negative Binomial Regression

In ciTools: Confidence or Prediction Intervals, Quantiles, and Probabilities for Statistical Models

Description

This function is one of the methods of add_quantile.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'negbin'
add_quantile(df, fit, p, name = NULL, yhatName = "pred", nSims = 2000, ...)

Arguments

df	A data frame of new data.
fit	An object of class negbin. Predictions are made with this object.
p	A real number between 0 and 1. Sets the probability level of the quantiles.
name	NULL or a string. If NULL, quantiles automatically will be named by add_quantile, otherwise, they will be named name.
yhatName	A string. Name of the vector of predictions.
nSims	A positive integer. Set the number of simulated draws to use.
...	Additional arguments.

Details

Quantiles of Negative Binomial linear models are determined by add_quantile through a simulation using arm::sim.

Value

A dataframe, df, with predicted values and level p quantiles attached.

Examples

x1 <- rnorm(100, mean = 1)
y <- MASS::rnegbin(n = 100, mu = exp(1 + x1), theta = 5)
df <- data.frame(x1 = x1, y = y)
fit <- MASS::glm.nb(y ~ x1, data = df)
add_quantile(df, fit, p = 0.3)
