similar to: confint.glm in a function

Dear all, I was trying to see how the function 'confint' is defined. Doing > confint function (object, parm, level = 0.95, ...) UseMethod("confint") <environment: namespace:stats> does not really enlighten me. How can I get to see the implementation (I guess it should be possible according to the general philosophy of the R project)? Thanks in advance S??ren

Greetings all, I was in the process of creating a function to generate profile likelihood confidence intervals for a proportion using a binomial glm. This is a component of a larger function to generate and plot confidence intervals for proportions using the above, along with bootstrap (BCa), Wilson and Exact to visually demonstrate the variation across the methods to some folks. I had initially

Dear R users this may be a simple question - but i would appreciate any thoughts does anyone know how you would get one lower and one upper confidence interval for a set of data that consists of proportions. i.e. taking a usual confidence interval for normal data would result in the lower confidence interval being negative - which is not possible given the data (which is constrained between

Full_Name: Ben Bolker Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows XP and 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (128.227.60.124) The following code, using confint() to try to get confidence intervals on an nls object that has been fitted with algorithm="port" reliably crashes R 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 with the latest version of MASS on a Windows 2000 and a Windows XP machine here. I *think* earlier versions of MASS

the function confint uses the profiling method of the function of the package MASS confint.glm even after the package has been detached! 1: might this be the intenden behavior? 2. How does the function remember its 'MASS' functionality after detaching the package? R: 1.8.0; Windows 2000 Here is a sample program > set.seed(7882) > x<-rep(c(0,1),c(20,20)) >

It seems that confint.default returns an empty data.frame for objects of class mlm. For example: ``` nobs <- 20 set.seed(1234) # some fake data datf <- data.frame(x1=rnorm(nobs),x2=runif(nobs),y1=rnorm(nobs),y2=rnorm(nobs)) fitm <- lm(cbind(y1,y2) ~ x1 + x2,data=datf) confint(fitm) # returns: 2.5 % 97.5 % ``` I have seen proposed workarounds on stackoverflow and elsewhere, but

Dear all, I have run the confint() function according to below and I get the following error message: > confint(stepAIC.glm.spe.var.konn2.abund, level=0.95) Waiting for profiling to be done... Error: missing value where logical needed In addition: Warning message: NaNs produced in: sqrt((fm$deviance - OriginalDeviance)/DispersionParameter) or > confint(stepAIC.glm.spe.var.konn2.abund,

Dear R-helpers, I am using confint() within a function, and I want to turn off the message it prints: x <- rnorm(100) y <- x^1.1+rnorm(100) nlsfit <- nls(y ~ g0*x^g1, start=list(g0=1,g1=1)) > confint(nlsfit) Waiting for profiling to be done... 2.5% 97.5% g0 0.4484198 1.143761 g1 1.0380479 2.370057 I cannot find any way to turn off 'Waiting for. .."

Dear R users, The nnet package includes the multinom method for the confint function. The R Help file (?confint) for the generic function in the stats package and the help files for the glm and nls methods in the MASS package indicate that one can use the "parm" argument as "a specification of which parameters are to be given confidence intervals, either a vector of numbers or

Full_Name: Christian Lajaunie Version: 2.5.1 OS: Fedora fc6 Submission from: (NULL) (193.251.63.39) confint() does not use the appropriate variance term when the design matrix contains a zero column (which of course should not happen). Example: A 10x2 matrix with trivial column 1: > junk <- data.frame(x=rep(0,10), u=factor(sample(c("Y", "N"), 10, replace=T))) The

Dear R developers, I noticed a bug in the stats4 package, specifically in the confint method applied to ?mle? objects. In particular, when some ?fixed? parameters define the log likelihood, these parameters are stored within the mle object but they are not used by the ?confint" method, which retrieves their value from the global environment (whenever they still exist). Sample code: >

Which confint() method do you have in mind? There is at least four of them by default in R, and many additional classes could make use of stats:::confint.default by implementing vcov(). >

Hi, I am currently doing logistic regression analyses and I am trying to get confidence intervals for my partial logistic regression coefficients. Supposing I am right in assuming that the formula to estimate a 95% CI for a log odds coefficient is the following: log odds - 1.96*SE to log odds + 1.96*SE then I am not getting the right CI. For instance, this is a summary of my model:

I have the following binary data set: Sex Response 0 1 0 159 162 1 4 37 My commands library(MASS) sib.glm=glm(sib~sex,family=binomial,data=sib.data) summary(sib.glm) The coefficients in the output are Estimate Std. Error z value Pr(>|z|) (Intercept) -3.6826 0.5062 -7.274 3.48e-13

Dear colleagues, I have used statistical software "R" in academic research, and I find very interesting. So now I have started my studies at advanced level. I have conducted several statistical models of the type "*nls*". In respect of procedures for models of the type nls, I'd like you answer only one question that I have had doubts, related to the formula

Following up on this -- on my system, I have 69 packages installed that appear to provide something like a confint() method: h <- help.search("confint", agrep = FALSE) p <- sort(unique(h$matches$Package)) length(p) ## [1] 69 p [1] "bamlss" "bbmle" "binom" "brglm2" [5] "broom"

I don't know if this has already come up in the list or elsewhere - a quick search did't show anything relevant - but I think it's worth of mention. The confint.lm function in package MASS doesn't work correctly when called on a subset of parameters. The bug, easy to fix, is that confidence intervals are computed for all parameters anyway, and then assigned to a matrix which is too

I need confint() for glm() to supress the messages "Waiting for profiling to be done..." because they mess up the caching mechanism of pgfSweave (see https://github.com/cameronbracken/pgfSweave/issues/40). I have read the help page of confint(), but I do not know how to get the help page for the glm() version, if any such help page exists. Is there a general way of turning of output

I have found some "issues" (bugs?) with nls confidence intervals ... some with the relatively new "port" algorithm, others more general (but possibly in the "well, don't do that" category). I have corresponded some with Prof. Ripley about them, but I thought I would just report how far I've gotten in case anyone else has thoughts. (I'm finding the code
