CIdelta.fun {NHPoisson}

Confidence intervals for \lambda(t) using delta method

Description

Given the \hat \beta covariance matrix (or its estimation), an approximate confidence interval for each \lambda(t) is calculated using the delta method.

Usage

CIdelta.fun(VARbeta, lambdafit, covariates, clevel = 0.95)

Arguments

VARbeta

(Estimated) Covariance matrix of the \hat \beta parameter vector.

lambdafit

Numeric vector of fitted values of the PP intensity \hat \lambda(t).

covariates

Matrix of covariates to estimate the PP intensity.

clevel

Confidence level of the confidence intervals. A value in the interval (0,1).

Value

A list with elements

LIlambda

Numeric vector of the lower values of the intervals.

UIlambda

Numeric vector of the upper values of the intervals.

lambdafit

Input argument.

Note

fitPP.fun calls CIdelta.fun when the argument is CIty='Delta'.
