This gives the confidence intervals for each of the three tests. For example, in the first experiment the 95% confidence interval is between -0.97 and -0.03 assuming that the random variables are normally distributed, and the samples are independent. X: an object of class survfit, usually returned by the survfit function. Conf.int: determines whether pointwise confidence intervals will be plotted. The default is to do so if there is only 1 curve, i.e., no strata, using 95% confidence intervals Alternatively, this can be a numeric value giving the desired confidence level. On the left side, the confidence interval must be wider than on the right side. However, what I see is the contrary, narrower the left and wider the right.

The main goal of linear regression is to predict an outcome value on the basis of one or multiple predictor variables.

In this chapter, we’ll describe how to predict outcome for new observations data using R.. You will also learn how to display the confidence intervals and the prediction intervals.

Build a linear regression

We start by building a simple linear regression model that predicts the stopping distances of cars on the basis of the speed.

The linear model equation can be written as follow: dist = -17.579 + 3.932*speed.

Note that, the units of the variable speed and dist are respectively, mph and ft.

Prediction for new data set

Using the above model, we can predict the stopping distance for a new speed value.

Start by creating a new data frame containing, for example, three new speed values:

You can predict the corresponding stopping distances using the R function predict() as follow:

Confidence interval

The confidence interval reflects the uncertainty around the mean predictions. To display the 95% confidence intervals around the mean the predictions, specify the option interval = 'confidence':

The output contains the following columns:

  • fit: the predicted sale values for the three new advertising budget
  • lwr and upr: the lower and the upper confidence limits for the expected values, respectively. By default the function produces the 95% confidence limits.

For example, the 95% confidence interval associated with a speed of 19 is (51.83, 62.44). This means that, according to our model, a car with a speed of 19 mph has, on average, a stopping distance ranging between 51.83 and 62.44 ft.

Prediction interval

The prediction interval gives uncertainty around a single value. In the same way, as the confidence intervals, the prediction intervals can be computed as follow:

Plot

The 95% prediction intervals associated with a speed of 19 is (25.76, 88.51). This means that, according to our model, 95% of the cars with a speed of 19 mph have a stopping distance between 25.76 and 88.51.

Note that, prediction interval relies strongly on the assumption that the residual errors are normally distributed with a constant variance. So, you should only use such intervals if you believe that the assumption is approximately met for the data at hand.

Prediction interval or confidence interval?

A prediction interval reflects the uncertainty around a single value, while a confidence interval reflects the uncertainty around the mean prediction values. Thus, a prediction interval will be generally much wider than a confidence interval for the same value.

Which one should we use? The answer to this question depends on the context and the purpose of the analysis. Generally, we are interested in specific individual predictions, so a prediction interval would be more appropriate. Using a confidence interval when you should be using a prediction interval will greatly underestimate the uncertainty in a given predicted value (P. Bruce and Bruce 2017).

The R code below creates a scatter plot with:

  • The regression line in blue
  • The confidence band in gray
  • The prediction band in red

Discussion

In this chapter, we have described how to use the R function predict() for predicting outcome for new data.

I’m writing a post on how to draw a in 95% confidence interval in R by hand. I spent an hour or so trying to figure this out, and most message threads point someone to the ellipse() function. However, I wanted to know how it works.

The basic problem was this. Imagine two random variables with a bivariate normal distribution, called y, which is an n x 2 matrix with n rows and 2 columns. The random variables are described by a mean vector mu and covariance matrix S. The equation for an ellipse is:

(y – mu) S^1 (y – mu)’ = c^2

The number c^2 controls the radius of the ellipse, which we want to extend to the 95% confidence interval, which is given by a chi-square distribution with 2 degrees of freedom. The ellipse has two axes, one for each variable. The axes have half lengths equal to the square-root of the eigenvalues, with the largest eigenvalue denoting the largest axis. A further description of this can be found in any multivariate statistics book (or online).

Plot 95% Confidence Interval R

To calculate the ellipse, we need to do a few things: 1) convert the variables to polar coordinates, 2) extend the new polar variables by the appropriate half lengths (using eigenvalues), 3) rotate the coordinates based on the variances and covariances, and 4) move the location of the new coordinates back to the original means. This will make more sense when we do it by hand.

First, generate some data, plot it, and use the ellipse() function to make the 95% confidence interval. This is the target interval (I use it to check myself. If my calculations match, hooray. If not, I screwed up).

Second, get the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the correlation matrix.

Third, make a vector of coordinates for a full circle, from 0 to 2*pi and get the critical value (c^2).

The vector A above are angles that describe a unit circle. The coordinates of a unit circle are found by x = cos(a) and y = sin(a) (use trigonometry of a triangle to get this, where the hypotenuse = 1). We need to extend the unit circle by the appropriate lengths based on the eigenvalues and then even more by the critical value.

If you plot M, you’ll get an ellipse of the appropriate axes lengths, but centered on 0 and unrotated. Rotate the ellipse using the eigenvectors, which describe the relationships between the variables (more appropriately, they give the directions for the vectors of the major axes of variation). Use the equation u*M’ (write this out to see why this works).

The final step is to move the rotated ellipse back to the original scale (centered around the original means) and plot the data.

This gives the following plot, with the red line being the output from the ellipse() function.

And that’s that! Hopefully this helps someone like me who spent hours looking but couldn’t find anything.
