Extract DCPO Results

Description

summarize_dcpo_results is a convenience function that produces summary statistics of the main parameters of a DCPO object along with the relevant identifying information (country, year, question, and cutpoint).

Usage

extract_dcpo_results(dcpo_input, dcpo_output, par)

Arguments

dcpo_input	the data frame of survey items and marginals generated by DCPOtools::dcpo_setup previously passed to dcpo to generate the DCPO object passed as dcpo_output
dcpo_output	a DCPO object output by DCPO::dcpo or DCPOtools::dcpo
pars	a character vector of parameter names to be summarized from the DCPO model: theta (mean public opinion), sigma (polarization in public opinion), alpha (question dispersion), beta (question-cutpoint difficulty), and/or delta (country-specific question bias)
probs	a numeric vector of quantiles of interest; the default is c(.1, .9)

Value

a tibble

Examples

out1 <- dcpo(demsup_data,
             chime = FALSE,
             chains = 1,
             iter = 300) # 1 chain/300 iterations for example purposes only; use defaults

theta_results <- summarize_dcpo_results(dcpo_input = demsup_data,
                                        dcpo_output = out1,
                                        pars = "theta")
