Calculates relative bias, mean squared error (relative mse), and root mean squared error (relative rmse) of variance estimators. The function also calculates the associated jack-knife Monte Carlo standard errors.

Usage

calc_relative_var(
  data,
  estimates,
  var_estimates,
  criteria = c("relative bias", "relative mse", "relative rmse")
)

Arguments

data

data frame or tibble containing the simulation results.

estimates

Vector or name of column from data containing point estimates.

var_estimates

Vector or name of column from data containing variance estimates for point estimator in estimates.

criteria

character or character vector indicating the performance criteria to be calculated.

Value

A tibble containing the number of simulation iterations, performance criteria estimate(s) and the associated MCSE.
