boot.mlcm {MLCM} | R Documentation |
Using the fitted
responses (probabilities) to the conjoint measurement scale, new responses are generated which permit new bootstrap replications of estimated scales to be generated. The mean scale is useful for evaluating bias and the standard deviation for estimating standard errors of the scale values.
boot.mlcm(x, nsim, ...)
x |
an object of class ‘mlcm’ |
nsim |
an integer, the number of simulations. |

Additional options passed along to the function |
The scale values (from ‘glm’ method) permit the fitted probabilities to be estimated. These are used to generate new responses to the stimulus pairs using rbinom
. The new responses are then used with mlcm
to estimate a bootstrapped scale. This is repeated N
times and stored in the output with the mean and standard deviation of the bootstrapped scales.
