Description

Methods for function confint

Methods

signature(object = "sbm", iterations = 100, samples_ratio = 0.8, alpha = 0.05, replace = TRUE)

Creates bootstrap confidence intervals for sbm objects. The argument iterations indicates the number of bootstrap samples which are drawn. Since the initial data in the Swash-Backwash Model should be balanced, entity-based bootstrap sampling is carried out. This means that not, for example, 80% of all observations are included in each sample at a sample ratio equal to p = 0.8 (samples_ratio = 0.8), but rather all observations for 80% of the regions. The significance level for the confidence intervals \alpha is set by the argument alpha (default: 0.05, which corresponds to a 95% confidence level).
