object |
an object of class |
parm |
this argument is here for compatability with the generic function confint, but is (currently) ignored. |
level |
numerical value between 0 and 100 specifying the confidence interval level (if unspecified, the default is to take the value from the object). |
digits |
an integer specifying the number of digits to which printed results must be rounded. |

further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
The confidence intervals are constructed based on the (asymptotic) normal distribution of the estimators. Standard error are derived using the delta method. See the references for more details.
