From 2cf977cb94fcf6e68b4a75cdf33a29a5308b9457 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ranke Date: Wed, 3 May 2006 22:53:31 +0000 Subject: Changed the way confidence intervals are being calculated. Now the function confint.nls from the MASS package is being used, after stumbling across the relevant paragraph of the MASS book. git-svn-id: http://kriemhild.uft.uni-bremen.de/svn/drfit@76 d1b72e20-2ee0-0310-a1c4-ad5adbbefcdc --- man/drfit.Rd | 16 +++++++--------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'man') diff --git a/man/drfit.Rd b/man/drfit.Rd index a89b5dd..453c0f8 100644 --- a/man/drfit.Rd +++ b/man/drfit.Rd @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ } \usage{ drfit(data, startlogED50 = NA, chooseone = TRUE, probit = TRUE, logit = FALSE, - weibull = FALSE, linlogit = FALSE, conf = FALSE, linlogitWrong = NA, + weibull = FALSE, linlogit = FALSE, level = 0.95, linlogitWrong = NA, allWrong = NA, s0 = 0.5, b0 = 2, f0 = 0) } \arguments{ @@ -43,10 +43,8 @@ A boolean defining if the linear-logistic function \code{\link{linlogitf}} as defined by van Ewijk and Hoekstra 1993 is fitted to the data.
