Hierarchical piecewise linear model / piecewise regression

Description

The hplm() function computes a hierarchical piecewise regression model.

Usage

hplm(
  data,
  dvar,
  pvar,
  mvar,
  model = c("W", "H-M", "B&L-B", "JW"),
  contrast = c("first", "preceding"),
  contrast_level = NA,
  contrast_slope = NA,
  method = c("ML", "REML"),
  control = list(opt = "optim"),
  random.slopes = FALSE,
  lr.test = FALSE,
  ICC = TRUE,
  trend = TRUE,
  level = TRUE,
  slope = TRUE,
  random_trend = FALSE,
  random_level = FALSE,
  random_slope = FALSE,
  fixed = NULL,
  random = NULL,
  update.fixed = NULL,
  data.l2 = NULL,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'sc_hplm'
print(x, digits = 3, ..., smd = FALSE, casewise = FALSE)

## S3 method for class 'sc_hplm'
export(
  object,
  caption = NA,
  footnote = NA,
  filename = NA,
  kable_styling_options = list(),
  kable_options = list(),
  round = 2,
  nice = TRUE,
  casewise = FALSE,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'sc_hplm'
coef(object, casewise = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

data

A single-case data frame. See scdf() to learn about this format.

dvar

Character string with the name of the dependent variable. Defaults to the attributes in the scdf file.

pvar

Character string with the name of the phase variable. Defaults to the attributes in the scdf file.

mvar

Character string with the name of the measurement time variable. Defaults to the attributes in the scdf file.

model

Model used for calculating the dummy parameters (see Huitema & McKean, 2000). Default is model = "W". Possible values are: "B&L-B", "H-M", "W", and deprecated "JW".

contrast

Sets contrast_level and contrast_slope. Either "first", "preceding" or a contrast matrix.

contrast_level

Either "first", "preceding" or a contrast matrix. If NA contrast_level is a copy of contrast.

contrast_slope

Either "first", "preceding" or a contrast matrix. If NA contrast_level is a copy of contrast.

method

Method used to fit your model. Pass "REML" to maximize the restricted log-likelihood or "ML" for maximized log-likelihood. Default is "ML".

control

A list of settings for the estimation algorithm, replacing the default values passed to the function lmeControl of the nlme package.

random.slopes

If random.slopes = TRUE random slope effects of the level, trend, and treatment parameter are estimated.

lr.test

If set TRUE likelihood ratio tests are calculated comparing model with vs. without random slope parameters.

ICC

If ICC = TRUE an intraclass-correlation is estimated.

trend

A logical indicating if a trend parameters is included in the model.

level

A logical indicating if a level parameters is included in the model.

slope

A logical indicating if a slope parameters is included in the model.

random_trend

If TRUE, includes a random trend trend effect.

random_level

If TRUE, includes a random level trend effect.

random_slope

If TRUE, includes a random slope trend effect.

fixed

Defaults to the fixed part of the standard piecewise regression model. The parameter phase followed by the phase name (e.g., phaseB) indicates the level effect of the corresponding phase. The parameter 'inter' followed by the phase name (e.g., interB) adresses the slope effect based on the method provide in the model argument (e.g., "B&L-B"). The formula can be changed for example to include further L1 or L2 variables into the regression model.

random

The random part of the model.

update.fixed

An easier way to change the fixed model part (e.g., . ~ . + newvariable).

data.l2

A dataframe providing additional variables at Level 2. The scdf File has to have names for all cases and the Level 2 dataframe has to have a column named 'cases' with the names of the cases the Level 2 variables belong to.

...

Further arguments passed to the lme function.

x

An object returned by hplm()

digits

The minimum number of significant digits to be use. If set to "auto" (default), values are predefined.

smd

If TRUE, reports between-case standardized mean differences.

casewise

Returns the estimations for each case

object

An scdf or an object exported from a scan function.

caption

Character string with table caption. If left NA (default) a caption will be created based on the exported object.

footnote

Character string with table footnote. If left NA (default) a footnote will be created based on the exported object.

filename

String containing the file name. If a filename is given the output will be written to that file.

kable_styling_options

list with arguments passed to the kable_styling function.

kable_options

list with arguments passed to the kable function.

round

Integer passed to the digits argument internally used to round values.

nice

If set TRUE (default) output values are rounded and optimized for publication tables.

Value

model List containing infromation about the applied model.
N Number of single-cases.
formula A list containing the fixed and the random formulas of the hplm model.
hplm Object of class lme contaning the multilevel model.
model.0 Object of class lme containing the Zero Model.
ICC List containing intraclass correlation and test parameters.
model.without Object of class gls containing the fixed effect model.
contrast List with contrast definitions.
