hello, i did median based linear regression and computed conf.intervals for my coefficients. but something must have went wrong as the estimates are out of estimates confidence bounds. does someone know what is the problem here.
i get warning messages about wilcox.test is not able to do calculations of exact p-values with ties and zeroes, but i do not expect the estimates and theire ci's to be effected by this... i'd be glad if someone could give advise, greetings, kay library(mblm) y<-c(1.41421356237310, 2, 2.44948974278318, 0, 1.41421356237310, 2, 0, 1.41421356237310, 1.41421356237310, 1.73205080756888, 2, 1.41421356237310, 2.44948974278318, 1, 1.41421356237310, 3.16227766016838, 0, 1.41421356237310, 1.41421356237310, 1.41421356237310, 1, 1, 3, 1, 0) x<-c(1.73205080756888, 2.23606797749979, 2.82842712474619, 1.41421356237310, 2.23606797749979, 2.44948974278318, 1, 1, 2.64575131106459, 2, 3.16227766016838, 2.23606797749979, 3.16227766016838, 2.64575131106459, 2.23606797749979, 3.16227766016838, 1, 1.73205080756888, 0, 1.73205080756888, 0, 1.41421356237310, 3.16227766016838, 0, 1) mod<-mblm(y~x,repeated=F) summary(mod) mod$coeff confint(mod) # gives: > mod$coeff (Intercept) x 0.3187684 0.6324555 > > confint(mod) 0.025 0.975 (Intercept) -0.02332502 0.5550533 x 0.77481683 1.0266857 (?????) ----- ------------------------ Kay Cichini Postgraduate student Institute of Botany Univ. of Innsbruck ------------------------ -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/mblm-confint-problem-tp2124017p2124017.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
