formula |
An object of class |
data |
The |
na.action |
|
weights |
an optional vector of weights to be used in the fitting process.
Should be |
mix_name |
A character vector listing the variables contributing to a mixture effect. |
stratified |
The character name of the variable for which you want to stratify for.
It has to be a |
valid_var |
A character value containing the name of the variable that identifies the validation and the training dataset. You previously need to create a variable in the dataset which is equal to 1 for the observations you want to include in the validation dataset, equal to 0 for the observation you want to include in the training dataset (use 0 also for the validation dataset if you want to train and validate the model on the same data) and equal to 2 if you want to keep part of the data for the predictive model. |
rs |
Number of random subset samples used in parameter estimation. |
n_vars |
The number of mixture components to be included at each random subset step. |
b1_pos |
A logical value that determines whether weights are derived from models where the beta values were positive or negative. |
b1_constr |
A logial value that determines whether to apply positive (if |
zero_infl |
A logical value ( |

validation |
Percentage of the dataset to be used to validate the model. If

family |
A character value that allows to decide for the glm: |
zilink |
character specification of link function in the binary zero-inflation model (you can choose among "logit", "probit", "cloglog", "cauchit", "log"). |

Percentage of the dataset to be used for the predictive model. If |

A logical value indicating whether plots should be generated with the output

A logical value indicating whether tables should be generated in the output

control |
The control list of optimization parameters. See |
gWQS
uses the glm
function in the stats package to fit the linear, logistic,
the Poisson and the quasi-Poisson regression, while the glm.nb
function from the MASS
package is used to fit the negative binomial regression respectively. The nlm
function from
the stats package was used to optimize the log-likelihood of the multinomial regression.
The solnp
optimization function is used to estimate the weights in each
random subset sample.
The seed
argument specifies a fixed seed through the set.seed
function.
The plots
argument produces three figures (two if family = binomial
or "multinomial"
)
through the ggplot
function. One more plot will be printed if pred > 0
and
family = binomial
.
The tables
argument produces two tables in the viewr pane through the use of the functions
kable
and kable_styling
.
gwqsrs
return the results of the WQSRS regression as well as many other objects and datasets.
fit |
The object that summarizes the output of the WQSRS model, reflecting a
linear, logistic, multinomial, Poisson, quasi-Poisson or negative binmial regression
depending on how the |
conv |
Indicates whether the solver has converged (0) or not (1 or 2). |
bres |
Matrix of estimated weights, mixture effect parameter estimates and the associated standard errors, statistics and p-values estimated for each bootstrap iteration. |
wqs |
Vector containing the wqs index for each subject. |
q_i |
List of the cutoffs used to divide in quantiles the variables in the mixture |
slctd_vars |
List of vectors containing the names of the mixture components selected at each random subset step. |

Vector containing the rows used to estimate the weights in each random subset. |

Vector containing the rows used to estimate the parameters of the final model. |

Vector containing the subjects used for prediction. It is generated only when |

# To run a linear model and save the results in the variable "results". This linear model
# (family="gaussian") will rank/standardize variables in quartiles (q = 4), perform a
# 40/60 split of the data for training/validation (validation = 0.6), and estimate weights
# over 10 random subset samples (rs = 10; in practical applications at least 1000 random
# subsets should be used). The number of chemicals to be included at each random subset
# step is left to the function which automatically chooses the rounded square root of the
# toxic_chems vector's length (n_vars = NULL). Weights will be derived from mixture effect
# parameters that are positive (b1_pos = TRUE). A unique seed was specified (seed = 2016)
# so this model will be reproducible, and plots describing the variable weights and linear
# relationship will be generated as output (plots = TRUE). In the end tables describing the
# weights values and the model parameters with the respectively statistics are generated in
# the plots window
