Profile a fitted linear mixed model

Source: R/inference.R
profile.mm_lmm.Rd

Computes profile-likelihood intervals for the model's parameters via the engine's certified profile payload and returns them as an mm_profile object: $table has one row per profiled parameter (parameter, estimate, lower, upper, regularity, reason_code). Under REML, fixed-effect coefficients are not profiled (upstream contract); their rows carry reason_code = "profile_beta_unavailable_under_reml" rather than being silently dropped. Use confint() with method = "profile" for the matrix form.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'mm_lmm'
profile(fitted, which = NULL, level = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

fitted

A fitted mm_lmm.

which

Optional character vector of parameter names to keep (coefficient names, "sigma", "theta1", ...).

level

Confidence level for the reported interval endpoints.

...

Unused; for generic consistency.

Value

An mm_profile object with $table, $level, $fit_criterion, and $notes.
