confint.glm in a function
I can't get confint.glm to work from within a function.  Consider 
the following (using R 1.9.1, Windows 2000):

DF <- data.frame(y=.1, N=100)
(fit <- glm(y~1, family=binomial, data=DF,

How do I force confint() for glm() to be quiet?
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

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().

Bug in "stats4" package - "confint" method
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:

confint: which method attached?
the function
confint
uses the profiling method of the function of the package MASS

2. How does the function remember its 'MASS' functionality after detaching the package?

Should there be a confint.mlm ?
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:

confint Attempts to Use All Server CPUs by Default
Hello,
Would a less resource-intensive value, such as 1, be a safer default CPU value for confint? I noticed excessive CPU usage on a I.T. administrator-managed server which was being three-quarters used by another staff member when the confidence interval calculation in an R Markdown document suddenly changed from two seconds to ninety seconds because of competition for CPUs between users.

confint/nls
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

Curious finding in MASS:::confint.glm() tied to eval()

I was in the process of creating a function to generate profile

This is a component of a larger function to generate and plot confidence

Wilson and Exact to visually demonstrate the variation across the

Problem with confint function
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:
