ci {gmodels}

Compute Confidence Intervals

Description

Compute and display confidence intervals for model estimates. Methods are provided for the mean of a numeric vector ci.default, the probability of a binomial vector ci.binom, and for lm, lme, and mer objects are provided.

Usage

ci(x, confidence = 0.95, alpha = 1 - confidence, ...)

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
ci(x, confidence = 0.95, alpha = 1 - confidence, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

object from which to compute confidence intervals.

confidence

confidence level. Defaults to 0.95.

alpha

type one error rate. Defaults to 1.0-confidence

...

Arguments for methods

na.rm

logical indicating whether missing values should be removed.

Value

vector or matrix with one row per model parameter and elements/columns Estimate, ⁠CI lower⁠, ⁠CI upper⁠, ⁠Std. Error⁠, DF (for lme objects only), and p-value.
