In drabinova/difNLR: DIF and DDF Detection by Non-Linear Regression Models

Extract model coefficients from an object of "difNLR" class.

Description

S3 method for extracting model coefficients from an object of "difNLR" class.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'difNLR'
coef(object, SE = FALSE, simplify = FALSE, IRTpars = TRUE, CI = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

object	an object of "difNLR" class.
SE	logical: should the standard errors of estimated parameters be also returned? (default is FALSE).
simplify	logical: should the estimated parameters be simplified to a matrix? (default is FALSE).
IRTpars	logical: should the estimated parameters be returned in IRT parameterization? (default is TRUE).
CI	numeric: level of confidence interval for parameters, default is 0.95 for 95% confidence interval.
...	other generic parameters for coef() function.

Examples

## Not run: 
# loading data
data(GMAT)
Data <- GMAT[, 1:20] # items
group <- GMAT[, "group"] # group membership variable

# testing both DIF effects using likelihood-ratio test and
# 3PL model with fixed guessing for groups
(x <- difNLR(Data, group, focal.name = 1, model = "3PLcg"))

# estimated parameters
coef(x)
# includes standard errors
coef(x, SE = TRUE)
# includes standard errors and simplifies to matrix
coef(x, SE = TRUE, simplify = TRUE)
# intercept-slope parameterization
coef(x, IRTpars = FALSE)
# intercept-slope parameterization, simplifies to matrix, turn off confidence intervals
coef(x, IRTpars = FALSE, simplify = TRUE, CI = 0)
