Bootstrap ICC values in 2-level data
Implements a 2-level bootstrap. The bootstrap first draws a sample of level-2 units with replacement, and in a second stage draws a sample of level-1 observations with replacement from the level-2 units. Following each bootstrap replication, the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient 1 is estimated using the lme function.
boot.icc(x, grpid, nboot, aov.est=FALSE)
x |
A vector representing the variable upon which to estimate the ICC values. |
grpid |
A vector representing the level-2 unit identifier. |
nboot |
The number of bootstrap iterations. Computational demands underlying a 2-level bootstrap are heavy, so the examples use 100; however, the number of interations should generally be 10,000. |
aov.est |
An option to estimate the ICC using aov. |
Provides ICC(1) estimates for each bootstrap draw.
