ci: Confidence/Credible/Compatibility Interval (CI)

Description

Compute Confidence/Credible/Compatibility Intervals (CI) or Support Intervals (SI) for Bayesian and frequentist models. The Documentation is accessible for:

Usage

ci(x, ...)

# S3 method for numeric ci(x, ci = 0.95, method = "ETI", verbose = TRUE, BF = 1, ...)

# S3 method for data.frame ci(x, ci = 0.95, method = "ETI", BF = 1, rvar_col = NULL, verbose = TRUE, ...)

# S3 method for sim.merMod ci( x, ci = 0.95, method = "ETI", effects = c("fixed", "random", "all"), parameters = NULL, verbose = TRUE, ... )

# S3 method for sim ci(x, ci = 0.95, method = "ETI", parameters = NULL, verbose = TRUE, ...)

# S3 method for stanreg ci( x, ci = 0.95, method = "ETI", effects = c("fixed", "random", "all"), component = c("location", "all", "conditional", "smooth_terms", "sigma", "distributional", "auxiliary"), parameters = NULL, verbose = TRUE, BF = 1, ... )

# S3 method for brmsfit ci( x, ci = 0.95, method = "ETI", effects = c("fixed", "random", "all"), component = c("conditional", "zi", "zero_inflated", "all"), parameters = NULL, verbose = TRUE, BF = 1, ... )

# S3 method for BFBayesFactor ci(x, ci = 0.95, method = "ETI", verbose = TRUE, BF = 1, ...)

# S3 method for MCMCglmm ci(x, ci = 0.95, method = "ETI", verbose = TRUE, ...)

Value

A data frame with following columns:

  • Parameter The model parameter(s), if x is a model-object. If x is a vector, this column is missing.

  • CI The probability of the credible interval.

  • CI_low, CI_high The lower and upper credible interval limits for the parameters.

Arguments

x

A stanreg or brmsfit model, or a vector representing a posterior distribution.

...

Currently not used.

ci

Value or vector of probability of the CI (between 0 and 1) to be estimated. Default to 0.95 (95%).

method

Can be "ETI" (default), "HDI", "BCI", "SPI" or "SI".

verbose

Toggle off warnings.

BF

The amount of support required to be included in the support interval.

rvar_col

A single character - the name of an rvar column in the data frame to be processed. See example in p_direction().

effects

Should results for fixed effects, random effects or both be returned? Only applies to mixed models. May be abbreviated.

parameters

Regular expression pattern that describes the parameters that should be returned. Meta-parameters (like lp__ or prior_) are filtered by default, so only parameters that typically appear in the summary() are returned. Use parameters to select specific parameters for the output.

component

Should results for all parameters, parameters for the conditional model or the zero-inflated part of the model be returned? May be abbreviated. Only applies to brms-models.

ci(posterior, method = "HDI")

df <- data.frame(replicate(4, rnorm(100)))
ci(df, method = "ETI", ci = c(0.80, 0.89, 0.95))
ci(df, method = "HDI", ci = c(0.80, 0.89, 0.95))

model <- suppressWarnings(
  stan_glm(mpg ~ wt, data = mtcars, chains = 2, iter = 200, refresh = 0)
