CItran.fun: Confidence intervals for \(\lambda(t)\) based on transformation

Description

Given the \(\hat \beta\) covariance matrix (or its estimation), an approximate confidence interval for each \(\lambda(t)=\exp(\nu(t))\) is calculated using a transformation of the confidence interval for the linear predictor \(\nu(t)=\textbf{X(t)} \beta\). The transformation is \(\exp(I_i)\), where \(I_i\) are the confidence limits of \(\nu(t)\).

Usage

CItran.fun(VARbeta, lambdafit, covariates, clevel = 0.95)

Value

A list with elements

LIlambda

Numeric vector of the lower values of the intervals.

UIlambda

Numeric vector of the upper values of the intervals.

lambdafit

Input argument.

Arguments

VARbeta

(Estimated) Coariance matrix of the \(\hat \beta\) parameter vector.

lambdafit

Numeric vector of fitted values of the PP intensity \(\hat \lambda(t)\).

covariates

Matrix of covariates to estimate the PP intensity.

clevel

Confidence level of the confidence intervals. A value in the interval (0,1).
