<tr>
<th>object</th>
<td><p>An <code><a href='mkinfit.html'>mkinfit</a></code> object</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>parm</th>
<td><p>A vector of names of the parameters which are to be given
confidence intervals. If missing, all parameters are considered.</p></td>

<tr>
<th>level</th>
<td><p>The confidence level required</p></td>

<tr>
<th>alpha</th>
<td><p>The allowed error probability, overrides 'level' if specified.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>cutoff</th>
<td><p>Possibility to specify an alternative cutoff for the difference
in the log-likelihoods at the confidence boundary. Specifying an explicit
cutoff value overrides arguments 'level' and 'alpha'</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>method</th>
<td><p>The 'profile' method searches the parameter space for the
cutoff of the confidence intervals by means of a likelihood ratio test.
The 'quadratic' method approximates the likelihood function at the
optimised parameters using the second term of the Taylor expansion, using
a second derivative (hessian) contained in the object.</p></td>

<tr>
<th>transformed</th>
<td><p>If the quadratic approximation is used, should it be
applied to the likelihood based on the transformed parameters?</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>backtransform</th>
<td><p>If we approximate the likelihood in terms of the
transformed parameters, should we backtransform the parameters with
their confidence intervals?</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>distribution</th>
<td><p>For the quadratic approximation, should we use
the student t distribution or assume normal distribution for
the parameter estimate</p></td>
