ConfRadius {compositions}

Helper to compute confidence ellipsoids

Description

Computes the quantile of the Mahalanobis distance needed to draw confidence ellipsoids.

Usage

ConfRadius(model,prob=1-alpha,alpha)
          

Arguments

model

A multivariate linear model

prob

The confidence probability

alpha

The alpha error allowed, i.e. the complement of the confidence probability

Details

Calculates the radius to be used in confidence ellipses for the parameters based on the Hottelings T^2 distribution.

Value

a scalar

model <- lm(ilr(sa.groups)~sa.groups.area)
cf = coef(model)
plot(ilrInv(cf, x=sa.groups))
for(i in 1:nrow(cf)){
  vr = vcovAcomp(model)[,,i,i]
  vr = ilrvar2clr(vr)
  ellipses(ilrInv(cf[i,]), vr, r=ConfRadius(model, alpha=0.05) )
