Confidence Intervals for CoDa Models
Description
Dargel and Thomas-Agnan (2024) show to compute variances and confidence intervals for parameters of CoDa models in log-ratio spaces.
Of particular interest are the clr parameters since they can be directly interpreted as differences from an average elasticity.
Another option is interpret the difference in clr parameters as these coincide with the difference in elasticities.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'lmCoDa'
confint(object, parm, level = 0.95, y_ref = NULL, obs = NULL, ...)
Arguments
object |
class "lmCoDa" |
parm |
a character, indicating the name of one explanatory variable |
level |
a numeric, indicating the confidence level required |
y_ref |
an optional argument that indicates the reference component of
the response variable using its name or its position. |
obs |
an optional integer that indicates one observation when this argument is supplied the function return the observation dependent elasticity |
... |
passed on to confit() |
Details
Since CoDa models are often multivariate this function only allows to
specify one explanatory variable at a time.
The output is also more complex than the usual one for "lm" classes, because
we have to indicate the component of Y and X.
With confint.lm()
it is still possible to compute the usual the confidence
intervals.
Value
data.frame

Examples
## ==== Y-compositional model ====
res <- lmCoDa(
ilr(cbind(left, right, extreme_right)) ~
ilr(cbind(Age_1839, Age_4064)) +
ilr(cbind(Educ_BeforeHighschool, Educ_Highschool, Educ_Higher)) +
unemp_rate,
data = head(election, 20))
## ---- CI for scalar X
# CI for clr parameters
confint(res, "unemp_rate")
# CI for difference in clr parameters (coincides with difference in the semi elasticity)
confint(res, "unemp_rate", y_ref = 1)
## ---- CI for compositional X
# CI for clr parameters
confint(res, "cbind(Age_1839, Age_4064)")
# CI for difference in clr parameters (coincides with difference in the elasticity)
confint(res, "cbind(Age_1839, Age_4064)", y_ref = 1)
