Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples
Compute generalized linear models for complex cluster designs with multiple imputed variables based
on the Jackknife (JK1, JK2) or balanced repeated replicates (BRR) procedure. Conceptually, the function combines replication
methods and methods for multiple imputed data. Technically, this is a wrapper for the svyglm()
function
of the 'survey'
package.

|
datL |
Data frame in the long format (i.e. each line represents one ID unit in one imputation of one nest) containing all variables for analysis. |
ID |
Variable name or column number of student identifier (ID) variable. ID variable must not contain any missing values. |
wgt |
Optional: Variable name or column number of weighting variable. If no weighting variable is specified, all cases will be equally weighted. |
type |
Defines the replication method for cluster replicates which is to be applied. Without cluster replicates (i.e., if |
PSU |
Variable name or column number of variable indicating the primary sampling unit (PSU). When a jackknife procedure is applied,
the PSU is the jackknife zone variable. If |
repInd |
Variable name or column number of variable indicating replicate ID. In a jackknife procedure, this is the jackknife replicate
variable. If |
repWgt |
Normally, replicate weights are created by |
nest |
Optional: name or column number of the nesting variable. Only applies in nested multiple imputed data sets. |
imp |
Optional: name or column number of the imputation variable. Only applies in multiple imputed data sets. |
groups |
Optional: vector of names or column numbers of one or more grouping variables. |
group.splits |
Optional: If groups are defined, |
group.delimiter |
Character string which separates the group names in the output frame. |
cross.differences |
Either a list of vectors, specifying the pairs of levels for which cross-level differences should be computed. Alternatively, if TRUE, cross-level differences for all pairs of levels are computed. If FALSE, no cross-level differences are computed. (see examples 2a, 3, and 4 in the help file of jk2.mean) |
trend |
Optional: name or column number of the trend variable. Note: Trend variable must have exact two levels. Levels for grouping variables must be equal in both 'sub populations' partitioned by the trend variable. |
linkErr |
Optional: name or column number of the trend variable. If 'NULL', a linking error of 0 will be assumed in trend estimation. |
formula |
Model formula, see help page of |
family |
A description of the error distribution and link function to be used in the model. See help page of |
forceSingularityTreatment |
Logical: Forces the function to use the workaround to handle singularities in regression models. |
glmTransformation |
Optional: Allows for transformation of parameters from linear regression and logistic regression before pooling. Useful to compare parameters from different glm models, see Mood (2010). Note: This argument applies only if forceSingularityTreatment is set to 'TRUE'. |
doCheck |
Logical: Check the data for consistency before analysis? If |
na.rm |
Logical: Should cases with missing values be dropped? |
poolMethod |
Which pooling method should be used? The “mice” method is recommended. |
Function first creates replicate weights based on PSU
and repInd
variables according to JK2 or
BRR procedure. According to multiple imputed data sets, a workbook with several analyses is created.
The function afterwards serves as a wrapper for svyglm()
implemented in the 'survey'
package.
The results of the several analyses are then pooled according to Rubin's rule, which is adapted for nested
imputations if the dependent
argument implies a nested structure.
A list of data frames in the long format. The output can be summarized using the report
function.
The first element of the list is a list with either one (no trend analyses) or two (trend analyses)
data frames with at least six columns each. For each subpopulation denoted by the groups
statement, each dependent variable, each parameter and each coefficient the corresponding value is given.
group |
Denotes the group an analysis belongs to. If no groups were specified and/or analysis for the whole sample were requested, the value of ‘group’ is ‘wholeGroup’. |
depVar |
Denotes the name of the dependent variable in the analysis. |
modus |
Denotes the mode of the analysis. For example, if a JK2 analysis without sampling weights was conducted, ‘modus’ takes the value ‘jk2.unweighted’. If a analysis without any replicates but with sampling weights was conducted, ‘modus’ takes the value ‘weighted’. |
parameter |
Denotes the parameter of the regression model for which the corresponding value is given further. Amongst others, the ‘parameter’ column takes the values ‘(Intercept)’ and ‘gendermale’ if ‘gender’ was the dependent variable, for instance. See example 1 for further details. |
coefficient |
Denotes the coefficient for which the corresponding value is given further. Takes the values ‘est’ (estimate) and ‘se’ (standard error of the estimate). |
value |
The value of the parameter estimate in the corresponding group. |
If groups were specified, further columns which are denoted by the group names are added to the data frame.

data(lsa)
### use only the first nest
bt <- lsa[which(lsa[,"nest"] == 1),]
### use only data from 2010
bt2010 <- bt[which(bt[,"year"] == 2010),]
## use only reading data
bt2010read <- bt2010[which(bt2010[,"domain"] == "reading"),]
### Example 1: Computes linear regression from reading score on gender separately for each
### country. Assume no nested structure.
mod1 <- jk2.glm(datL = bt2010read, ID = "idstud", wgt = "wgt", type = "jk2",
PSU = "jkzone", repInd = "jkrep", imp = "imp", groups = "country", formula = score~sex)
res1 <- report(mod1, printGlm = TRUE)
### Example 2: Computes log linear regression from pass/fail on ses and gender
### separately for each country in a nested structure
dat <- lsa[intersect(which(lsa[,"year"] == 2010), which(lsa[,"domain"] == "reading")),]
mod1 <- jk2.glm(datL = dat, ID = "idstud", wgt = "wgt", type = "JK2", PSU = "jkzone",
repInd = "jkrep", imp = "imp", nest="nest", groups = "country",
formula = passReg~sex*ses, family = binomial(link="logit"))
res1 <- report(mod1, printGlm = TRUE)
### Example 3: Like example 1, but with JK1 instead of JK2, trend estimation (without
### linking error) and nested imputation
dat <- lsa[which(lsa[,"domain"] == "reading"),]
mod1 <- jk2.glm(datL = dat, ID = "idstud", wgt = "wgt", type = "jk1", PSU = "jkzone",
imp = "imp", nest = "nest", groups = "country", formula = score~sex, trend = "year")
res1 <- report(mod1, printGlm = TRUE)
