Compute Credible (Bayesian Confidence) Intervals for a BAS predict object
Source:R/confint.R
confint.pred.RdCompute credible intervals for in-sample or out of sample prediction or for the regression function
Usage
# S3 method for class 'pred.bas'
confint(object, parm, level = 0.95, nsim = 10000, ...)Arguments
- object
an object created by
predict.bas- parm
character variable, "mean" or "pred". If missing parm='pred'.
- level
the nominal level of the (point-wise) credible interval
- nsim
number of Monte Carlo simulations for sampling methods with BMA
- ...
optional arguments to pass on to next function call; none at this time.
Value
a matrix with lower and upper level * 100 percent credible intervals for either the mean of the regression function or predicted values.
Details
This constructs approximate 95 percent Highest Posterior Density intervals for 'pred.bas' objects. If the estimator is based on model selection, the intervals use a Student t distribution using the estimate of g. If the estimator is based on BMA, then nsim draws from the mixture of Student t distributions are obtained with the HPD interval obtained from the Monte Carlo draws.
