In R, the predict family of functions provides that facility. If you want the code it will be in the particular function associated with the model type.

?predict
?predict.glm
# the example illustrates creation of prediction curves on the response scale for a specific range of data. # create the desired CI's by appropriate use of the se.fit value returned from the predict call. # This is the code inside predict.glm that does the work when se.fit is set as TRUE in the predict call:

se.fit <- pred$se.fit
switch(type, response = {
            se.fit <- se.fit * abs(family(object)$mu.eta(fit))
            fit <- family(object)$linkinv(fit)
        }, link = , terms = )

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a function out there, or someone has written code for making confidence intervals around model averaged predictions (y~á+âx). The model average estimates are from the dRedging library?

It seems a common thing but I can't seem to find one via the search engines

Examples of the models are:

fit1 <- glm(y~ dbh, family = binomial, data = data)

fit2 <- glm(y~ dbh+vegperc, family = binomial, data = data)

fit3 <- glm(y~ dbh, family = binomial, data = data)

and the model averaging

model.averaging <-model.avg(fit1,fit2,fit3, method="0")

and the output (from model.avg) has the following items: Coefficient, Variance, Standard error, adjusted standard error and lower and upper confidence interval for each parameter (and intercept).

What I would like to do is make "prediction intervals". I know I need to include covariance and variance. Please let me know if anyone has a function or code to get these prediction intervals out of this output.

Thanks in advance for your help, and please advise me if you need more information
