pool_internal: Internal Pool Methods

Description

Dispatches pool methods based upon results object class. See pool() for details.

Usage

pool_internal(results, conf.level, alternative, type, D, ...)

# S3 method for jackknife pool_internal(results, conf.level, alternative, type, D, ...)

# S3 method for bootstrap pool_internal( results, conf.level, alternative, type = c("percentile", "normal"), D, ... )

# S3 method for bmlmi pool_internal(results, conf.level, alternative, type, D, ...)

# S3 method for rubin pool_internal(results, conf.level, alternative, type, D, rubin_df_method, ...)

Value

A list containing the pooled results for a single parameter with elements est (point estimate), ci (confidence interval), se (standard error) and pvalue (p-value). The specific computation is determined by the class of results via S3 dispatch.

Arguments

results

a list of results i.e. the x$results element of an analyse object created by analyse()).

conf.level

confidence level of the returned confidence interval. Must be a single number between 0 and 1. Default is 0.95.

alternative

a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less".

type

a character string of either "percentile" (default) or "normal". Determines what method should be used to calculate the bootstrap confidence intervals. See details. Only used if method_condmean(type = "bootstrap") was specified in the original call to draws().

D

numeric representing the number of imputations between each bootstrap sample in the BMLMI method.

...

not used.

rubin_df_method

a character string specifying the degrees-of-freedom approximation used when pooling with Rubin's rules. "barnard-rubin" (default) uses the Barnard-Rubin (1999) small-sample adjustment, while "rubin" uses the approximation from Rubin (1987). Ignored for other pooling methods.
