confint.mlmm {LMMstar}

Confidence Intervals for Multiple Linear Mixed Model.

Description

Compute confidence intervals for several linear mixed models.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mlmm'
confint(
  object,
  parm = NULL,
  level = 0.95,
  method = NULL,
  ordering = "parameter",
  ...
)

Arguments

object

an mlmm object, output of mlmm.

parm

Not used. For compatibility with the generic method.

level

[numeric,0-1] the confidence level of the confidence intervals.

method

[character] type of adjustment for multiple comparisons: one of "none", "bonferroni", "single-step", "single-step2", or "pool".

ordering

[character] should the output be ordered by type of parameter (parameter) or by model (by). Only relevant for mlmm objects.

...

other arguments are passed to confint.Wald_lmm.

Details

Statistical inference following pooling is performed according to Rubin's rule whose validity requires the congeniality condition of Meng (1994).
