anova_propreg: Significance testing for the coefficients of Quasi binomial...

In Rfast: A Collection of Efficient and Extremely Fast R Functions

Significance testing for the coefficients of Quasi binomial or the quasi Poisson regression

Description

Significance testing for the coefficients of Quasi binomial or the quasi Poisson regression.

Usage

anova_propreg(mod, poia = NULL)
anova_qpois.reg(mod, poia = NULL)

Arguments

mod

An object as returned by the "prop.reg" or the "qpois.reg" function.

poia

If you want to test the significance of a single coefficient this must be a number. In this case, the "prop.reg" or the "qpois.reg" function contains this information. If you want more coefficients to be testes simultaneously, e.g. for a categorical predictor, then this must contain the positions of the coefficients. If you want to see if all coefficients are zero, like an overall F-test, leave this NULL.

Details

Even though the name of this function starts with anova it is not an ANOVA type significance testing, but a Wald type.

Value

A vector with three elements, the test statistic value, its associated p-value and the relevant degrees of freedom.

Examples

y <- rbeta(1000, 1, 4)
x <- matrix(rnorm(1000 * 3), ncol = 3)
a <- prop.reg(y, x)
## all coefficients are tested
res<-anova_propreg(a)  
## the first predictor variable is tested 
res<-anova_propreg(a, 2)  
a  ## this information is already included in the model output
## the first and the second predictor variables are tested 
res<-anova_propreg(a, 2:3)
