SampleStatistics

Description

Gives sample values, standard errors and z-scores of one or more coefficients. SampleStatistics(dat,coeff) gives exactly the same output as ModelStatistics(dat,dat,"SaturatedModel",coeff).

Usage

SampleStatistics(dat, coeff, CoefficientDimensions = "Automatic", 
 Labels = "Automatic", ShowCoefficients = TRUE, ParameterCoding = "Effect", 
 ShowParameters = FALSE, ShowCorrelations = FALSE, Title = "", ShowSummary = TRUE)

Arguments

dat

observed data as a list of frequencies or as a data frame

coeff

list of coefficients, can be obtained using SpecifyCoefficient, or a predefined function such as "log"

CoefficientDimensions

numeric vector of dimensions of the table in which the coefficient vector is to be arranged

Labels

list of characters or numbers indicating labels for dimensions of table in which the coefficient vector is to be arranged

ShowCoefficients

boolean, indicating whether or not the coefficients are to be displayed

ShowParameters

boolean, indicating whether or not the parameters (computed from the coefficients) are to be displayed

ParameterCoding

Coding to be used for parameters, choice of "Effect", "Dummy" and "Polynomial"

ShowCorrelations

boolean, indicating whether or not to show the correlation matrix for the estimated coefficients

Title

Title of computation to appear at top of screen output

ShowSummary

Show summary on the screen

Details

The data can be a data frame or vector of frequencies. MarginalModelFit converts a data frame dat using c(t(ftable(dat))).

For ParameterCoding, the default for "Dummy" is that the first cell in the table is the reference cell. Cell (i,j,k,...) can be made reference cell using list("Dummy",c(i,j,k,...)). For "Polynomial" the default is to use centralized scores based on equidistant (distance 1) linear scores, for example, if for i=1,2,3,4,

\mu_i=\alpha+q_i\beta+r_i\gamma+s_i\delta

where \beta is a quadratic, \gamma a cubic and \delta a quartic effect, then q_i takes the values (-1.5,-.5,.5,1.5), r_i takes the values (1,-1,-1,1) (centralized squares of the q_i), and s_i takes the values (-3.375,-.125,.125,3.375) (cubes of the q_i).

Value

A subset of the output of MarginalModelFit.
