tidy.bage_mod: Summarize Terms from a Fitted Model

In bage: Bayesian Estimation and Forecasting of Age-Specific Rates

Summarize Terms from a Fitted Model

Description

Summarize the intercept, main effects, and interactions from a fitted model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'bage_mod'
tidy(x, ...)

Arguments

x	Object of class "bage_mod", typically created with mod_pois(), mod_binom(), or mod_norm().
...	Unused. Included for generic consistency only.

Details

The tibble returned by tidy() contains the following columns:

• term Name of the intercept, main effect, or interaction

• prior Specification for prior

• n_par Number of parameters

• n_par_free Number of free parameters

• std_dev Standard deviation for point estimates.

With some priors, the number of free parameters is less than the number of parameters for that term. For instance, an SVD() prior might use three vectors to represent 101 age groups so that the number of parameters is 101, but the number of free parameters is 3.

std_dev is the standard deviation across elements of a term, based on point estimates of those elements. For instance, if the point estimates for a term with three elements are 0.3, 0.5, and 0.1, then the value for std_dev is

sd(c(0.3, 0.5, 0.1))

std_dev is a measure of the contribution of a term to variation in the outcome variable.

Value

A tibble

                data = nzl_injuries,
                exposure = popn)
mod <- fit(mod)
