ttable: t-table summary for an 'lm' object

In astsa: Applied Statistical Time Series Analysis

t-table summary for an lm object

Description

Works like summary for an lm object but adds AIC, AICc, and BIC to the output with the option to display VIFs.

Usage

ttable(obj, digits = 4, vif = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

obj	an object of class "lm" as a result of a call to lm.
digits	the (approximate) number of significant digits to use when printing.
vif	if TRUE, variance inflation factors are printed if applicable; default is FALSE.
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

Produces a t-table for an lm object much like print.summary.lm with added information including AIC, AICc, BIC, and VIF (if requested and if applicable), to the output. The output is rounded and there are no significance stars. In fact, there are no stars at all.

TO REPEAT THE WARNING ON USING 'lm' FOR TIME SERIES: Considerable care must be taken:

• Include na.action = NULL in the lm call to avoid stripping the time series attributes from the variables before the regression is done.

• If any lagged or differenced variables are used in 'lm', the series must be lined up first. In this case, prepare a data frame using ts.intersect(..., dframe = TRUE); e.g.,

  mydata = ts.intersect(M = cmort, P4 = lag(part,-4), dframe=TRUE)
  fit    = lm(M ~ P4, na.action=NULL, data=mydata)
  ttable(fit)
  

Value

Prints a typical t-table with additional information as mentioned in the details. The p-values are two-sided. Also silently returns the same values as described in summary.lm.

Examples

fit1 = lm(cmort~ time(cmort) + tempr + I(tempr^2))
ttable(fit1, vif=TRUE)
# if you center `tempr`, the squared term doesn't change
temp = tempr - mean(tempr)
fit2 = lm(cmort~ time(cmort) + temp + I(temp^2)) 
ttable(fit2, vif=TRUE)
