mc.calcLinnetCI {mcrPioda}

Jackknife Confidence Interval

Description

Calculate Jackknife confidence intervals for intercept, slope or bias given of vector of jackknife point estimates and global point estimate.

Usage

mc.calcLinnetCI(Xjack, xhat, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

Xjack

vector of point estimates for jackknife samples. The i-th element contains point estimate for the dataset without the i-th observation.

xhat

point estimate for the complete data set (scalar).

alpha

numeric value specifying the 100(1-alpha)% confidence level for the confidence interval (Default is 0.05).

Value

a list with elements

est

point estimate for the complete data set (scalar).

se

standard deviation of point estimate calculated with Jackknife Method.

CI

confidence interval for point estimate.
