Coefficient intervals use the cold-multistart bootstrap percentile method. In simulations from King's CPB (n = 300) the 95% interval for a slope covers 0.91 at alpha 0.3, 0.95 at 0.5 and 0.94 at 0.7, and on the floor support 0.95. The interval for alpha is a profile-likelihood interval. It is first-order by default: on King's support it covers close to its level in simulations from the CPB, and on the floor support about 0.90 to 0.94, with most misses on the upper side (see calibrate_alpha()). It is calibrated by parametric bootstrap when the fit went through calibrate_alpha().

Usage

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

Arguments

object

A "cpb" object. Coefficient intervals need se = "bootstrap" at fit time; the interval for "alpha" does not.

parm

Optional subset of parameters (coefficient names and/or "alpha").

level

Confidence level (default 0.95).

...

Unused.

Value

A matrix of lower/upper bounds.
