Check The Order of Bounds in a List of semlbci Objects

Check whether the LBCIs in a list of semlbci-class of objects are consistent with their levels of confidence.

Usage

ci_order(semlbci_list)

# S3 method for ci_order
print(x, digits = 3, ...)

Arguments

semlbci_list: An object of class semlbci_list, such as the output of nearby_levels().
x: The output of ci_order().
digits: The number of decimal places in the printout.
...: Additional arguments. Not used.

Value

A ci_order-class object with a print method print.ci_order(). The number of rows is equal to the number of parameters in semlbci_list, and the columns stores the confidence limits from the list, ordered according to the level of confidence.

x is returned invisibly. Called for its side effect.

Methods (by generic)

print(ci_order): The print method of the output of ci_order().

# Check the order of the confidence bounds.
# A confidence interval with a higher level of confidence
# should enclose a confidence interval with
# a lower level of confidence.
