[R-sig-Geo] Empirical Bayes smoothing (DCluster)

[Dorothea Lemke]

Dear Virgilio,

many thanks for your fast response - this helps a lot. I have another
question concerning the
EBlocal-function: Is there a way to calculate the confidence interval
for the risk estimates?

Thank you very much in advance
Dorothea
