expon.slope: Confidence interval for an exponentiated slope

Description

Computes confidence intervals for exp(B) - 1 (as a percent) and exp(B) where B is a population slope coefficient in a binary logit, ordinal logit, or log-Poisson model. This function is useful with software that does not have an option to compute exp(B) and exp(B) - 1.

Usage

expon.slope(alpha, b, se)

Value

Returns a 2-row matrix. The first row gives the results for exp(B), and the the second row gives the results for exp(B) - 1 (as a percent). The columns are:

  • Estimate - estimate of exp(B) or exp(B) - 1

  • LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

  • UL - upper limit of the confidence interval

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

b

estimated slope coefficient

se

slope standard error

Examples

Run this code
expon.slope(.05, .502, .0396)

# Should return:
#                   Estimate        LL       UL
# exp(B)            1.652022  1.528651  1.78535
# 100[exp(B) - 1]% 65.202201 52.865066 78.53502
