confint.incubate_fit: Confidence intervals for parameters of incubate-model fits.

confint.incubate_fitR Documentation

Confidence intervals for parameters of incubate-model fits.

Description

Bias-corrected bootstrap confidence limits (either quantile-based or normal-approximation based) are generated. Optionally, there are also variants that use a log-transformation first. At least R=1000 bootstrap replications are recommended. Default are quantile-based confidence intervals that internally use a log-transformation.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'incubate_fit'
confint(
  object,
  parm,
  level = 0.95,
  R = 199L,
  bs_data,
  bs_infer = c("logquantile", "lognormal", "quantile", "quantile0", "normal", "normal0"),
  useBoot = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

object

object of class incubate_fit

parm

character. Which parameters to get confidence interval for?

level

numeric. Which is the requested confidence level for the interval? Default value is 0.95

R

number of bootstrap replications. Used only if not bs_data-object is provided.

bs_data

character or bootstrap data object. If character, it specifies which type of bootstrap is requested and the bootstrap data will be generated. Data can also be provided here directly. If missing it uses parametric bootstrap.

bs_infer

character. Which type of bootstrap inference is requested to generate the confidence interval?

useBoot

logical. Delegate bootstrap confint calculation to the boot-package?

...

further arguments, currently not used.

Value

A matrix (or vector) with columns giving lower and upper confidence limits for each parameter.
