mnlChange2: Average Effects for Multinomial Logistic Regression Models

In DAMisc: Dave Armstrong's Miscellaneous Functions

Description

Calculates average effects of a variable in multinomial logistic regression holding all other variables at observed values.

Usage

mnlChange2(obj, varnames, data, diffchange = c("unit", "sd"), n = 1, R = 1500)

Arguments

obj	An object of class multinom
varnames	A string identifying the variable to be manipulated.
data	Data frame used to fit object.
diffchange	A string indicating the difference in predictor values to calculate the discrete change. sd gives plus and minus one-half standard deviation change around the median and unit gives a plus and minus one-half unit change around the median.
n	Number of diffchange units to change.
R	Number of simulations.

Value

A list with elements:

mean	Average effect of the variable for each category of the dependent variable.
lower	Lower 95 percent confidence bound
upper	Upper 95 percent confidence bound
