Univariate and Multivariate Regressions and Their Average Marginal Effects

Description

Computes linear or binomial regressions in two steps : univariate regressions and a multivariate regressions. All the results are nicely displayed side by side with average marginal effects.

Usage

regtab(x, y, weights = NULL, continuous = "slopes", 
 show.ci = TRUE, conf.level = 0.95)

Arguments

x	data frame. The explanatory (i.e. independent) variables used in regressions. They can be numerical or factors.
y	vector. The outcome (i.e. dependent) variable. It can be numerical (linear regression) or a factor with 2 levels (binomial regression).
weights	numeric vector of weights. If NULL (default), uniform weights (i.e. all equal to 1) are used.
continuous	character. The kind of average marginal effects computed for continuous explanatory variables. If "slopes" (defaults), these are average marginal slopes. If "predictions", these are average marginal predictions for a set of values.
show.ci	logical. Whether to display the confidence intervals
conf.level	numerical value. Defaults to 0.95, which corresponds to a 95 percent confidence interval. Must be strictly greater than 0 and less than 1.

Details

This function is basically a wrapper for regression functions in the gtsummary function. It computes a series of univariate regressions (one for each explanatory variable), then a multivariate regression (with all explanatory variables) and displays the results side by side. These results are presented in the form of average marginal effects : average marginal predictions for categorical variables and average marginal slopes (or predictions) for continuous variables.

Besides, the function is compatible with the attribute labels assigned with labelled package : these labels are displayed automatically.

Value

an object of class tbl_merge from gtsummary package
