L_regress: Likelihood Support for Regression

In likelihoodR: Likelihood Analyses for Common Statistical Tests

Likelihood Support for Regression

Description

This function calculates the supports for different regression fits from 2 vectors of data. Models include linear, quadratic and cubic (given sufficient data). A plot is included showing linear (black), quadratic (red) and cubic (blue dashed) lines. P values for the model fits are also given.

Usage

L_regress(y, x, verb=TRUE)

Arguments

y	a numeric vector the same length as x.
x	a numeric vector.
verb	show output, default = TRUE.

Value

$S.LNc - corrected support for linear versus null model.

$S.LN - uncorrected support for linear versus null model.

$S.QLc - corrected support for quadratic versus linear model.

$S.QL - uncorrected support for quadratic versus linear model.

S.QCc = support for quadratic versus cubic model.

$N - sample size.

$p.vals - p values for 3 fits.
