BayesianBoot: Non parametric and Bayesian Bootstrapping for GAMLSS models

Description

The function takes a GAMLSS fitted model and bootstrap it to create B bootstrap samples.

Usage

NonParametricBoot(obj, data = NULL, B = 100, newdata = NULL)
BayesianBoot(obj, data = NULL, B = 100, newdata = NULL)

Value

An Bayesian.boot object with elements

boot

the bootstrap samples

B

the required number of boostraps

trueB

the actual number of boostraps

par

the distribution parameters

orig.coef

the fitted coeficients from the GAMLSS model

orig.call

the call from the GAMLSS model

Arguments

obj

a gamlss fitted model

data

a data frame

B

the number of boostrap samples

newdata

new data for predictAll()
