cmat: Retrieve or set contrast matrix

In hypr: Hypothesis Matrix Translation

Retrieve or set contrast matrix

Description

Use these functions to retrieve or set a hypr object’s contrast matrix. If used for updating, the hypothesis matrix and equations are derived automatically.

Usage

cmat(x, add_intercept = FALSE, remove_intercept = FALSE, as_fractions = TRUE)

cmat(x, add_intercept = FALSE, remove_intercept = FALSE) <- value

contr.hypothesis(
  ...,
  add_intercept = FALSE,
  remove_intercept = NULL,
  as_fractions = FALSE
)

## S4 replacement method for signature 'factor,ANY,hypr'
contrasts(x, how.many = NULL) <- value

## S4 replacement method for signature 'factor,ANY,hypr_cmat'
contrasts(x, how.many = NULL) <- value

contr.hypothesis(
  x,
  add_intercept = NULL,
  remove_intercept = FALSE,
  as_fractions = FALSE
) <- value

Arguments

x	A hypr object
add_intercept	Add additional intercept column to contrast matrix
remove_intercept	If TRUE, tries to find an intercept column (all codes equal) and removes it from the matrix. If NULL, does the same but does not throw an exception if no intercept is found. FALSE explicitly disables this functionality. A numeric argument explicitly identifies the index of the column to be removed.
as_fractions	Should the returned matrix be formatted as fractions (using MASS::as.fractions())?
value	contrast matrix
...	A list of hypothesis equations for which to retrieve a contrast matrix
how.many	see stats::contrasts()

Details

Basic specification of contrasts in R is accomplished with basic R functions stats::contrasts() and stats::C() (Chambers & Hastie, 1992). Other relevant packages for this topic are multcomp (Bretz et al., 2010), contrast (Kuhn et al., 2016), and, including also various vignettes, emmeans (Lenth, 2019).

Value

A matrix of contrast codes with contrasts as columns and levels as rows.

Functions

• cmat(x, add_intercept = FALSE, remove_intercept = FALSE) <- value: Set contrast matrix

• contr.hypothesis(): Retrieve contrast matrix with sensible intercept default to override factor contrasts

• contrasts(x = factor, how.many = ANY) <- value: Update factor contrasts

• contrasts(x = factor, how.many = ANY) <- value: Update factor contrasts

• contr.hypothesis( x, add_intercept = NULL, remove_intercept = FALSE, as_fractions = FALSE ) <- value: Update contrast matrix with sensible intercept default

Examples

h <- hypr(mu1~0, mu2~mu1)
cmat(h) # retrieve the contrast matrix

contr.hypothesis(h) # by default without intercept (removes first column)
contr.hypothesis(mu1~0, mu2~mu1)
