CIgrandMean: Confidence interval for the grand mean of a linear model

Description

This function estimates the confidence interval for the grand mean of a balanced linear (mixed) model.

Usage

CIgrandMean(object, alpha = 0.05)
# S3 method for CIgm
print(x, ...)

Value

CIgrandMean returns a vector of interval endpoints and center. print.CIgm has no return.

Arguments

object

An lm object possibly containing random effects.

alpha

A scalar significance level for the confidence interval.

x

An object returned from CIgrandMean.
