linear_systematic: Find the systematic component in the linear form for fitted...

In christophergandrud/coreSim: Core Functionality for Simulating Quantities of Interest from Generalised Linear Models

Description

Find the systematic component in the linear form for fitted values in across each simulation (note: largely for internal use by qi_builder)

Usage

linear_systematic(b_sims, newdata, inc_intercept = TRUE)

Arguments

b_sims	a data frame created by b_sim of simulated coefficients.
newdata	a data frame of fitted values with column names corresponding to variable names in b_sims. Variables in b_sim not present in newdata will be treated as fitted at 0. Interactions will automatically be found if they were entered into to the model using the * operator.
inc_intercept	logical whether to include the intercept in the lineary systematic component.

Value

A data frame fitted values supplied in newdata and associated linear systematic component estimates for all simulationed coefficient estimates. The linear systematic components are included in a column named ls_.

# Estimate model
m1 <- lm(prestige ~ education + type, data = Prestige)

# Create fitted values
fitted_df <- expand.grid(education = 6:16, typewc = 1)

# Simulate coefficients
m1_sims <- b_sim(m1, nsim = 1000)

# Find linear systematic component for fitted values
ls <- linear_systematic(b_sims = m1_sims, newdata = fitted_df)
