Calculating and Plotting 95% Confidence Intervals for Predicted Values in Linear Regression Models Using R
Here is the corrected code that calculates and plots a 95% confidence interval around the predictions in pframe: library(ggplot2) library(nlme) library(dplyr) # ... (rest of the code remains the same) pframe <- expand.grid( fu_time=mean(mydata$fu_time), age=seq(min(mydata$age), max(mydata$age), length.out=75)) constructCIRibbon <- function(newdata, model) { df <- newdata %>% mutate(Predict = predict(model, newdata = ., level = 0)) mm <- model.matrix(eval(eval(model$call$fixed)[-2]), data = df) vars <- mm %*% vcov(model) %*% t(mm) sds <- sqrt(diag(vars)) df %>% mutate( lowCI = Predict - 1.
