coef_uncertainty function

Uncertainty quantification of the fixed effects

Compute confidence intervals for the fixed effects (upper and lower bound specifed by percentiles; default 90% confidence central interval)

coef_uncertainty(
  object,
  percentiles = c(5, 95),
  nsim = 400,
  random_effects = FALSE
)

Arguments

• object: object of class SRE returned from the constructor SRE() containing all the parameters and information on the SRE model
• percentiles: (applicable only if method = "TMB") a vector of scalars in (0, 100) specifying the desired percentiles of the posterior predictive distribution; if NULL, no percentiles are computed
• nsim: number of Monte Carlo samples used to compute the confidence intervals
• random_effects: logical; if set to true, confidence intervals will also be provided for the random effects random effects (see ?SRE for details on these random effects)
