confint.mitml.testEstimates

Compute confidence intervals


Description

Computes confidence intervals on the basis of the final parameter estimates and inferences given by testEstimates.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mitml.testEstimates'
confint(object, parm, level = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class mitml.testEstimates as produced by testEstimates.

parm

(optional) A reference to the parameters for which to calculate confidence intervals. Can be a character or integer vector denoting names or position of parameters, respectively. If missing, all parameters are considered (the default).

level

The confidence level. Default is to 0.95 (i.e., 95%).

...

Not being used.

Details

This function computes confidence intervals with the given confidence level for the pooled parameters on the basis of a t-distribution, with estimates, standard errors, and degrees of freedom as returned by testEstimates.

Value

A matrix containing the lower and upper bounds of the confidence intervals.

# fit regression model

# compute confidence intervals
confint(est)

# ... with different confidence levels
confint(est, level = 0.90)
