I tried to make a histogram of bootstrap distribution of my logistic
model according to "Regression Model Strategy" (pp197-200). Attached is
the histogram I made. The figure demonstrates bootstrap distribution of
log odds ratio from my logistic model. The solid curve is a kernel
density estimate and dashed curve is a normal density with the dame mean
and standard deviation as the bootstrapped values. Vertical lines
indicate asymmetric 0.9, 0.95, and 0,99 two-sided confidence limits for
the log odds ratio based on quantiles of the bootstrap values.
It seems to me that bootstrap distribution is normal and that estimation
of confidence interval is, ummm, accurate.
Am I right?
The codes I used are followings;
> library(rms)
> b <- bootcov(MyModel.penalized, B=1000, coef.reps=T)
> s <- summary(MyModel.penalized, x1=c(1.0, 1.5), x2=c(1.0, 1.5),
ClinicalScore=c(4,6), procedure=c("E", "A"))
> X <- predict(MyModel.penalized, data.frame(T1=c(1.0, 1.5), T2=c(1.0,
1.5), ClinicalScore=c(4,6), procedure=c("E", "A")), type="x")
> X
Intercept x1 x2 ClinicalScore procedure=E
1 1 1.0 1.0 4 1
2 1 1.5 1.5 6 0
> Xdif <- X[2, drop=F] -X[1, drop=F]
> Xdif
Intercept x1 x2 ClinicalScore procedure=E
2 0 0.5 0.5 2 -1
> conf <- c(.9, .95, .99)
> bootplot(b, X=Xdif, conf.int=conf, xlim=c(0, 6))
> boot.log.odds.ratio <- b$boot.Coef %*% t(Xdif)
> sd <- sqrt(var(boot.log.odds.ratio))
> sd
2
2 0.7412509
> z <- seq(0, 6, length=104)
> lines(z, dnorm(z, mean=mean(boot.log.odds.ratio), sd = sd), lty=2)
