santaR_CBand {santaR}

Compute Group Mean Curve Confidence Bands

Description

Generate bootstrapped group mean curve Confidence Bands, by resampling of individual curves with replacement. Returns a SANTAObj with added Confidence Bands.

• Resampling whole data curves assumes less of the data than resampling of residuals.

• The resampled distribution is of same size as the original distribution (same number of individuals in each group as in the input data).

• The degree of freedom for the estimator is identical to the one employed for curve fitting in santaR_fit.

Usage

santaR_CBand(SANTAObj, nBoot = 1000, alpha = 0.05, subsampling = 250)

Arguments

SANTAObj

A fitted SANTAObj as generated by santaR_fit.

nBoot

(int) Number of bootstrapping rounds. Default 1000.

alpha

(float) Confidence (0.05 for 95% Confidence Bands). Default 0.05.

subsampling

(int) Number of points to sample in the time range (for the estimator and Confidence Bands). Default is 250.

Value

A SANTAObj with added Confidence Bands for each group.
