Get Model Summaries for Use with "mtable"

Description

A generic function and methods to collect coefficients and summary statistics from a model object. It is used in mtable

Usage

  
  ## S3 method for class 'lm'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  ## S3 method for class 'glm'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  ## S3 method for class 'merMod'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05, ...)

  ## S3 method for class 'polr'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)

  ## S3 method for class 'coxph'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  ## S3 method for class 'phreg'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  ## S3 method for class 'survreg'

getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  ## S3 method for class 'hurdle'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  ## S3 method for class 'zeroinfl'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  ## S3 method for class 'betareg'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  ## S3 method for class 'multinom'
getSummary(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  
# A variant that reports exponentiated coefficients.
# The default method calls 'getSummary()' internally and should
# be applicable to all classes for which 'getSummary()' methods exist.
getSummary_expcoef(obj, alpha=.05,...)
  ## Default S3 method:
getSummary_expcoef(obj, alpha=.05,...)

Arguments

obj	a model object, e.g. of class lm or glm
alpha	level of the confidence intervals; their coverage should be 1-alpha/2
...	further arguments; ignored.

Details

The generic function getSummary is called by mtable in order to obtain the coefficients and summaries of model objects. In order to adapt mtable to models of classes other than lm or glm one needs to define getSummary methods for these classes and to set a summary template via setSummaryTemplate

Value

Any method of getSummary must return a list with the following components:

coef

an array with coefficient estimates; the lowest dimension must have the following names and meanings: est the coefficient estimates, se the estimated standard errors, stat t- or Wald-z statistics, p significance levels of the statistics, lwr lower confidence limits, upr upper confidence limits. The higher dimensions of the array correspond to the individual coefficients and, in multi-equation models, to the model equations.

sumstat

a vector containing the model summary statistics; the components may have arbitrary names.
