No s.e. from the fitted model of expected death #2

Dear Professor Irizarry,

I found that as “expected deaths” were calculated, the package itself only gave the estimate of expected without standard error. In this case, -compute_expected- and -expected_plot- do not give the confidence intervals of the estimates.

I would then like to suggest you to integrate standard error so as to calculate confidence interval for the estimates.

Your package is nicely written. Thank you so much for your awesome work!

Best, Enoch

Hi Enoch,

We are currently working on adding this to the package. We will update the package soon.

Best, Rolando

Fantastic!

I am currently using bootstrap to get the standard error. However, I think it would be more direct based on the fitted model. Thank you for your reply.
