Waldci {MCPAN}

Simultaneous Wald confidence intervals

Description

General function for simultaneous CIs in a one-way layout using multivariate normal distribution.

Usage

Waldci(cmat, estp, varp, varcor, alternative = "two.sided", conf.level = 0.95, dist="MVN")

Arguments

cmat

Contrast matrix of dimension MxI, with M = the number of contrasts, I= the number of samples

estp

numeric vector of point estimates of length I, with I = the number of samples

varp

numeric vector of variance estimates of length I, to be used for interval construction

varcor

numeric vector of variance estimates of length I

alternative

character string

conf.level

single numeric vector

dist

a character string, "MVN" invokes multiplicity adjustment via the multivariate normal distribution, "N" invokes use of quantiles of the univariate normal distribution

Details

Mainly for internal use.

Value

A list containing:

conf.int

a matrix with 2 columns: lower and upper confidence bounds, and M rows

alternative

character string, as input

conf.level

single numeric value, as input

quantile

the quantile used to construct the CIs
