I think the help page are exactly the same...

I cannot tell what you maen by this.

I just want to verify the confidence interval manually. That's all I want.

Then provide some reproducible code and data. ... as the Posting Guide explains and provides explicit examples of the manner for most effectively presenting data objects.

This functions are different. I advice you study them:

?confint # profile likelihood
?confint.default # t-distribution

Hi,

I have a glm gives summary as follows,

Estimate Std. Error z value Pr(>|z|)
(Intercept) -2.03693352     1.449574526 -1.405194 0.159963578
A            0.01093048       0.006446256  1.695633 0.089955471
N            0.41060119      0.224860819  1.826024 0.067846690
S           -0.20651005      0.067698863 -3.050421 0.002285206

then I use confint(k.glm) to obtain a confidnece interval for the
estimates.

confint(k.glm,level=0.97)
Waiting for profiling to be done...
                  1.5 %      98.5 %
(Intercept) -5.471345995  0.94716503
A           -0.002340863  0.02631582
N           -0.037028592  0.95590178
S           -0.365570347 -0.06573675

while reading the help for 'confint', i found something like confint.glm
for general linear model.
I load the MASS package by clicking on the Menu( or otherwise how should
I load the package?)

then I still cant use the confint.glm command, what have I dont wrong?


How do I calculate this confidence interval for glm estimate manually??

for A, I use
0.01093048 + c(-1,1) * 0.006446256 * qt(0.985,df=77)
which is a different interval i got from the confint(k.glm,level=0.97)
above.

To be short, what's the right command to find the confidence interval for
glm estimats?
How do I verify it manully?

Thanks.
