Confidence Intervals for the Parameter Estimates

Confidence Intervals for the Parameter Estimates

Usage

# S3 method for class 'metavarmeta'
confint(object, parm = NULL, level = 0.95, lb = TRUE, robust = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class metavarmeta.

parm

a specification of which parameters are to be given confidence intervals, either a vector of numbers or a vector of names. If missing, all parameters are considered.

level

the confidence level required.

lb

Logical. If TRUE, returns profile likelihood-based confidence intervals. If FALSE, returns Wald confidence intervals.

robust

Logical. If TRUE, use robust (sandwich) sampling variance-covariance matrix. If FALSE, use normal theory sampling variance-covariance matrix.

...

further arguments.

Value

Returns a matrix of confidence intervals.
