This function computes an approximate confidence interval of a point estimate (i.e. the test statistic).

Usage

computeCI(
  obs,
  rnd,
  conf.level = 0.95,
  type = c("standard", "percentile"),
  na.rm = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

obs

a numeric scalar representing the observed value of the summary statistic. Used only if type = "standard"

rnd

numerical vector containing the permutation/bootstrap replication of the statistics.

conf.level

the desired confidence level.

type

character string indicating which formula to use in the computation of the confidence interval. Available options are:

"standard"

the standard confidence interval

"percentile"

the percentile confidence interval

na.rm

logical, whether NA values should be removed before computation. Defaults to FALSE.

...

further arguments to computeStandardCI or computePercentileCI

Value

A named numeric vector with 2 elements, lower and upper, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval for the point estimate.
