cos2weights: Cos-squared model weights

In MuMIn: Multi-Model Inference

Cos-squared model weights

Description

Calculate the cos-squared model weights, following the algorithm outlined in the appendix to Garthwaite & Mubwandarikwa (2010).

Usage

cos2Weights(object, ..., data, eps = 1e-06, maxit = 100, predict.args = list())

Arguments

object, ...	two or more fitted glm objects, or a list of such, or an "averaging" object. Currently only lm and glm objects are accepted.
data	a test data frame in which to look for variables for use with prediction. If omitted, the fitted linear predictors are used.
eps	tolerance for determining convergence.
maxit	maximum number of iterations.
predict.args	optionally, a list of additional arguments to be passed to predict.

Value

A numeric vector of model weights.

Examples

fm <- lm(y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X4, Cement, na.action = na.fail)
# most efficient way to produce a list of all-subsets models
models <- lapply(dredge(fm, evaluate = FALSE), eval)
ma <- model.avg(models)

test.data <- Cement
Weights(ma) <- cos2Weights(models, data = test.data)
predict(ma, data = test.data)
