Delta method using numerical derivatives
...cal derivatives? I realise that the delta method has been implemented using symbolic derivatives (e.g. alr3::delta.method, emdbook::deltamethod, msm::deltamethod and survey:::nlcon), however possibly non-linear estimators using the delta method with numerical derivatives can be quite useful (e.g. predictnl in Stata and the estimate and predict statements for proc nlmixed in SAS). I would like something akin to the following predictnl() function: ## get some data and fit a model require(Epi) data(lungDK) fit <- glm(D/Y ~ as.factor(A5)+as.factor(A5):P5-1, data=lungDK, subset=(P5>=19...
