Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

Extracts jackknife confidence intervals for additive genetic, non-additive genetic, and maternal variance components. Also extracts intervals for additional fixed and/or random effects.

1	ciJack3(comp, full, remain = NULL, level = 95, rnd_r = 3, rnd_p = 1, trait = NULL)

`comp`	Data frame of jackknife resampling results
`full`	A vector of raw observed additive, non-additive, maternal, and total variance component values for from the full observed data set, i.e. c(additive, non-additive, maternal, total). Followed by any other components in the order of the vector remain, i.e. c(additive, non-additive, maternal, total, component1, component2, etc.).
`remain`	Vector of column names for additional effects
`level`	Confidence level, as a percentage. Default is 95.
`rnd_r`	Number of decimal places to round the confidence interval of raw values.
`rnd_p`	Number of decimal places to round the confidence interval of percentage values.
`trait`	Optional label for the phenotypic trait.

Used for jackknife resampling results produced using JackLmer3 for normal data or JackGlmer3 for non-normal data. Jackknife confidence intervals, using pseudo-values are described by Efron and Tibshirani (1993). The standard errors are calculated from the pseudo-values and the Student's t distribution is used to provide the lower and upper confidence values. For delete-d jackknife resampling, M degrees of freedom are used for producing the confidence interval (Martin et al. 2004): M = N / d, where N is the total number of observations and d is the number of deleted observations. That is, M is the number of row in the jackknife resampling results. Large values of M, such as 1,000, can translate to the delete-d jackknife resampling method approaching bootstrap resampling expectations (Efron & Tibshirani 1993).

Prints a data frame containing the lower, median, and upper values of the jackknife confidence interval for additive genetic, non-additive genetic, maternal variance components, and any additional fixed effect and/or random effect variance components. Values are presented as raw and percentages of the total variance value within each row.
