A data frame with at least two columns: the parameter names and the p-values. Depending on the model, may also include columns for model components etc.
There are different ways of approximating the degrees of freedom depending
on different assumptions about the nature of the model and its sampling
distribution. The ci_method
argument modulates the method for computing degrees
of freedom (df) that are used to calculate confidence intervals (CI) and the
related p-values. Following options are allowed, depending on the model
class:
Classical methods:
Classical inference is generally based on the Wald method. The Wald approach to inference computes a test statistic by dividing the parameter estimate by its standard error (Coefficient / SE), then comparing this statistic against a t- or normal distribution. This approach can be used to compute CIs and p-values.
"wald"
:
Applies to non-Bayesian models. For linear models, CIs computed using the Wald method (SE and a t-distribution with residual df); p-values computed using the Wald method with a t-distribution with residual df. For other models, CIs computed using the Wald method (SE and a normal distribution); p-values computed using the Wald method with a normal distribution.
"normal"
Applies to non-Bayesian models. Compute Wald CIs and p-values, but always use a normal distribution.
"residual"
Applies to non-Bayesian models. Compute Wald CIs and p-values, but always use a t-distribution with residual df when possible. If the residual df for a model cannot be determined, a normal distribution is used instead.
Methods for mixed models:
Compared to fixed effects (or single-level) models, determining appropriate df for Wald-based inference in mixed models is more difficult. See the R GLMM FAQ for a discussion.
Several approximate methods for computing df are available, but you should
also consider instead using profile likelihood ("profile"
) or bootstrap ("boot"
)
CIs and p-values instead.
"satterthwaite"
Applies to linear mixed models. CIs computed using the Wald method (SE and a t-distribution with Satterthwaite df); p-values computed using the Wald method with a t-distribution with Satterthwaite df.
"kenward"
Applies to linear mixed models. CIs computed using the Wald method (Kenward-Roger SE and a t-distribution with Kenward-Roger df); p-values computed using the Wald method with Kenward-Roger SE and t-distribution with Kenward-Roger df.
"ml1"
Applies to linear mixed models. CIs computed using the Wald
method (SE and a t-distribution with m-l-1 approximated df); p-values
computed using the Wald method with a t-distribution with m-l-1 approximated df.
See ci_ml1()
.
"betwithin"
Applies to linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models.
CIs computed using the Wald method (SE and a t-distribution with between-within df);
p-values computed using the Wald method with a t-distribution with between-within df.
See ci_betwithin()
.
Likelihood-based methods:
Likelihood-based inference is based on comparing the likelihood for the
maximum-likelihood estimate to the the likelihood for models with one or more
parameter values changed (e.g., set to zero or a range of alternative values).
Likelihood ratios for the maximum-likelihood and alternative models are compared
to a \chi
-squared distribution to compute CIs and p-values.
"profile"
Applies to non-Bayesian models of class glm
, polr
, merMod
or glmmTMB
.
CIs computed by profiling the likelihood curve for a parameter, using
linear interpolation to find where likelihood ratio equals a critical value;
p-values computed using the Wald method with a normal-distribution (note:
this might change in a future update!)
"uniroot"
Applies to non-Bayesian models of class glmmTMB
. CIs
computed by profiling the likelihood curve for a parameter, using root
finding to find where likelihood ratio equals a critical value; p-values
computed using the Wald method with a normal-distribution (note: this
might change in a future update!)
Methods for bootstrapped or Bayesian models:
Bootstrap-based inference is based on resampling and refitting the model to the resampled datasets. The distribution of parameter estimates across resampled datasets is used to approximate the parameter's sampling distribution. Depending on the type of model, several different methods for bootstrapping and constructing CIs and p-values from the bootstrap distribution are available.
For Bayesian models, inference is based on drawing samples from the model posterior distribution.
"quantile"
(or "eti"
)
Applies to all models (including Bayesian models).
For non-Bayesian models, only applies if bootstrap = TRUE
. CIs computed
as equal tailed intervals using the quantiles of the bootstrap or
posterior samples; p-values are based on the probability of direction.
See bayestestR::eti()
.
"hdi"
Applies to all models (including Bayesian models). For non-Bayesian
models, only applies if bootstrap = TRUE
. CIs computed as highest density intervals
for the bootstrap or posterior samples; p-values are based on the probability of direction.
See bayestestR::hdi()
.
"bci"
(or "bcai"
)
Applies to all models (including Bayesian models).
For non-Bayesian models, only applies if bootstrap = TRUE
. CIs computed
as bias corrected and accelerated intervals for the bootstrap or
posterior samples; p-values are based on the probability of direction.
See bayestestR::bci()
.
"si"
Applies to Bayesian models with proper priors. CIs computed as
support intervals comparing the posterior samples against the prior samples;
p-values are based on the probability of direction. See bayestestR::si()
.
"boot"
Applies to non-Bayesian models of class merMod
. CIs computed
using parametric bootstrapping (simulating data from the fitted model);
p-values computed using the Wald method with a normal-distribution)
(note: this might change in a future update!).
For all iteration-based methods other than "boot"
("hdi"
, "quantile"
, "ci"
, "eti"
, "si"
, "bci"
, "bcai"
),
p-values are based on the probability of direction (bayestestR::p_direction()
),
which is converted into a p-value using bayestestR::pd_to_p()
.
