Simultaneous Confidence Intervals Based on Parameter Estimates

Description

Computes simultaneous intervals for several multiple procedures based on precomputed parameter estimates.

Usage

csimint(estpar, df, covm, cmatrix = NULL, 
        ctype = "user-defined", conf.level = 0.95, 
        alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"),
        asympt = FALSE, eps = 0.001, maxpts = 1e+06)

Arguments

estpar estimated parameter vector.
df degrees of freedom.
covm estimated covariance matrix of estpar.
cmatrix contrast matrix.
ctype a string decribing the kind of contrast matrix used. Only used for printing in print.hmtest.
conf.level confidence level.
alternative the alternative hypothesis must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less". You can specify just the initial letter.
asympt a logical indicating whether the (exact) t-distribution or the normal approximation should be used.
eps absolute error tolerance as double.
maxpts maximum number of function values as integer.

Details

This is the work-horse for simint. If only parameter estimates and estimates of the (co)variances are available, simultaneous confidence intervals can be computed with this low-level function. See cholesterol for an example.

Value

an object of class hmtest
