getFix: Get information on fixed effects from a model object

In gmonette/spida2: Collection of tools developed for the Summer Programme in Data Analysis 2000-2012

Get information on fixed effects from a model object

Description

getFix extracts coefficients, covariance matrix and degrees of freedom from model objects. Its main purpose is to extract information need by the wald function. To extend the wald function to a new class of objects, it is merely necessary to write a method for getFix.

Usage

getFix(fit, ...)

## S3 method for class 'multinom'
getFix(fit, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lm'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, type = "HC3", ...)

## S3 method for class 'glm'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lme'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'gls'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lmer'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'glmerMod'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'glmer'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mer'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'zeroinfl'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE...)

## S3 method for class 'mipo'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'MCMCglmm'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'stanfit'
getFix(fit, pars, include = TRUE, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lmerMod'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'glmerMod'
getFix(fit, robust = FALSE, ...)

## Default S3 method:
getFix(fit, ...)

Arguments

fit	A fitted model object
...	Other arguments unused

Details

Extending the wald function to a new class of objects only requires a getFix method for the new class.

Value

Returns a list with the following components:

• fixedFixed effect parameter estimates

• vcovCovariance matrix of the parameters

• dfdenominator degrees of freedom for each effect
