MANOVA.RM (version 0.5.4)

conf.reg: The conf.reg() function calculates confidence regions for contrasts in multivariate factorial designs. In the two-dimensional case, confidence ellipsoids can be plotted via the generic plot() function.

Description

The conf.reg() function calculates confidence regions for contrasts in multivariate factorial designs. In the two-dimensional case, confidence ellipsoids can be plotted via the generic plot() function.

Usage

conf.reg(object, nullhypo)

Value

A confreg object containing the following components:

center

The center of the confidence ellipsoid.

scale

The scaling factors for the axis of the confidence ellipsoid calculated as \(\sqrt{\lambda*c/N}\), where \(\lambda\) are the eigenvalues, c denotes the bootstrap quantile and N is the total sample size. See Friedrich and Pauly (2018) for details.

eigenvectors

The corresponding eigenvectors, which determine the axes of the ellipsoid.

Arguments

object

A MANOVA object.

nullhypo

In scenarios with more than one factor, the null hypothesis, i.e., the contrast of interest must be specified.
