This is an under-development package that proposes the iterative bootstrap algorithm of Kuk (1995) and further studied by Guerrier et al (2019) and Guerrier et al (2020).

The ib
package is conceived as a wrapper: an object
that needs a
bias correction is supplied to the ib()
function. For example, for a
negative binomial regression:
library(ib)
library(MASS)
fit_nb <- glm.nb(Days ~ Sex/(Age + Eth*Lrn), data = quine)
fit_ib1 <- ib(fit_nb)
summary(fit_ib1)
## correct for overdispersion with H=100
fit_ib2 <- ib(fit_nb, control=list(H=100), extra_param = TRUE)
summary(fit_ib2)
Currently we support lm
, glm
, glm.nb
, lmer
, nls
and vglm
classes, as shown in the example above with the overdispersion parameter
of the negative binomial regression. More details are in help(ib)
.
On top of simulate
, we also consider cases where the response variable
is generated using censoring, missing at random and outliers mechanisms
(see help(ibControl)
for more details). For example
## suppose values above 30 are censored
quine2 <- transform(quine, Days=pmin(Days,30))
fit_nb <- glm.nb(Days ~ Sex/(Age + Eth*Lrn), data = quine2)
fit_ib1 <- ib(fit_nb, control = list(cens=TRUE, right=30))
summary(fit_ib1)
## correct for overdispersion with H=100
fit_ib2 <- ib(fit_nb, control=list(H=100, cens=TRUE, right=30), extra_param = TRUE)
summary(fit_ib2)
