tidy_add_reference_rows: Add references rows for categorical variables

In broom.helpers: Helpers for Model Coefficients Tibbles

Add references rows for categorical variables

Description

For categorical variables with a treatment contrast (stats::contr.treatment()), a SAS contrast (stats::contr.SAS()) a sum contrast (stats::contr.sum()), or successive differences contrast (MASS::contr.sdif()) add a reference row.

Usage

tidy_add_reference_rows(
  x,
  no_reference_row = NULL,
  model = tidy_get_model(x),
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

x	(data.frame) A tidy tibble as produced by ⁠tidy_*()⁠ functions.
no_reference_row	(tidy-select) Variables for those no reference row should be added. See also all_categorical() and all_dichotomous().
model	(a model object, e.g. glm) The corresponding model, if not attached to x.
quiet	(logical) Whether broom.helpers should not return a message when requested output cannot be generated. Default is FALSE.

Details

The added reference_row column will be equal to:

• TRUE for a reference row;

• FALSE for a normal row of a variable with a reference row;

• NA for variables without a reference row.

If the contrasts column is not yet available in x, tidy_add_contrasts() will be automatically applied.

tidy_add_reference_rows() will not populate the label of the reference term. It is therefore better to apply tidy_add_term_labels() after tidy_add_reference_rows() rather than before. Similarly, it is better to apply tidy_add_reference_rows() before tidy_add_n().
