confidence_interval

Profiler.confidence_interval(param, precision=1e-05)

Compute the confidence interval for a given parameter. A binary search method is used to progressively narrow down the interval based on the likelihood and the desired confidence level. Uses the same logic as the test_profile_likelihood method.

Parameters:

• param (str) – Name of the parameter.

• precision (float, optional) – Precision for the confidence interval calculation, by default 1e-5.

Returns:

A tuple containing the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval.

Return type:

tuple
