Description

confint2 is a generic function for creating confidence intervals from various statistical information (e.g., confint2.default) or object classes (e.g., confint2.boot). It is an alternative to the original confint generic function in the stats package.

Arguments

obj

object of a particular class (e.g., "boot") or the first argument in the default method (e.g., the obj argument in confint2.default)

...

additional arguments specific to the particular method of confint2.

Value

depends on the particular method of confint2, but usually a data.frame with a column for the parameter estimate ("est"), standard error ("se"), lower bound of the confidence interval ("lwr"), and upper bound of the confidence interval ("upr").
