boot_jaatha: Parametric Bootstrapping of Jaatha Estimates

Description

This function is a helper function for using the boot function to bootstrap Jaatha estimates. Each bootstap replication requires a complete jaatha estimation on data simulated with the original parameter estimates. Therefore, bootstrapping is normally computationally demanding and should be executed on a computing cluster. The jaatha analyses are resticted to a single CPU cores, so that as many replicas as possible can be executed in parallel using the corresponding options of boot.

Usage

boot_jaatha(model, data, results, R, ...)

Arguments

model
The jaatha model
data
The jaatha data
results
The results of an jaatha analysis performed with the same model and data as passed to this function.
R
The number of bootstrapping replicates that are performed.
...
Additional arguments that are passed on boot. It is highly recommended to use its parallel and ncpus options to parallelize the bootstrap replicates.

Value

  • The result of boot. This object can be used to estimate standard errors or confidence intervals of the estimates using the functions available in package boot.
