TRIM output structure (i.e., output of a call to trim)
which
select what totals to compute (see Details section).
obs
Flag to include total observations (or not).
level
the confidence level required.
If NULL, no confidence inetrvals are calculated.
Value
A data.frame with subclass trim.totals
(for pretty-printing). The columns are time, fitted
and se_fit (for standard error), and/or imputed
and se_imp, depending on the selection.
Details
The idea of TRIM is to impute those site-time combinations where
no counts are available. Time-totals (i.e. summed over sites) can be obtained
for two cases:
"imputed": Time totals are computed after replacing missing values with values predicted by the model.
"fitted": Time totals are computed after replacing both missing values and observed values with
values predicted by the model.
# NOT RUN {data(skylark)
z <- trim(count ~ site + time, data=skylark, model=2, changepoints=c(3,5))
totals(z)
totals(z, "both") # mimics classic TRIM# }
