Confidence interval for a ratio of mean absolute prediction errors in a 2-group design

Description

Computes a confidence interval for a ratio of population mean absolute prediction errors (MAPEs) from a general linear model in two independent groups. The number of predictor variables can differ across groups and the two models can be non-nested. This function requires a vector of estimated residuals from each group. This function does not assume zero excess kurtosis but does assume symmetry in the population prediction errors for the two models.

Usage

ci.mape2(alpha, res1, res2, s1, s2)

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

res1

vector of residuals from group 1

res2

vector of residuals from group 2

s1

number of predictor variables used in group 1

s2

number of predictor variables used in group 2

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

Examples

res1 <- c(-2.70, -2.69, -1.32, 1.02, 1.23, -1.46, 2.21, -2.10, 2.56, -3.02
        -1.55, 1.46, 4.02, 2.34)
res2 <- c(-0.71, -0.89, 0.72, -0.35, 0.33 -0.92, 2.37, 0.51, 0.68, -0.85,
        -0.15, 0.77, -1.52, 0.89, -0.29, -0.23, -0.94, 0.93, -0.31 -0.04)
ci.mape2(.05, res1, res2, 1, 1)
