Standardize model coefficients by Standard Deviation or Partial Standard Deviation.
std.coef(x, partial.sd, ...)partial.sd(x)
# Deprecated:
beta.weights(model)
a fitted model object.
logical, if set to TRUE
, model coefficients are
multiplied by partial SD, otherwise they are multiplied by the
ratio of the standard deviations of the independent variable and dependent
variable.
additional arguments passed to coefTable
, e.g.
dispersion
.
A matrix with at least two columns for standardized coefficient estimate and its standard error. Optionally, third column holds degrees of freedom associated with the coefficients.
Standardizing model coefficients has the same effect as centring and scaling the input variables. “Classical” standardized coefficients are calculated as \(\beta<U+1D62>* = \beta<U+1D62> (s<U+2093><U+1D62> / S<U+1D67>) \) , where \(\beta\) is the unstandardized coefficient, \(s<U+2093><U+1D62>\) is the standard deviation of associated depenent variable \(X<U+1D62>\) and \(S<U+1D67>\) is SD of the response variable.
If the variables are intercorrelated, the standard deviation of \(X<U+1D62>\) used in computing the standardized coefficients \(\beta<U+1D62>*\) should be replaced by a partial standard deviation of \(X<U+1D62>\) which is adjusted for the multiple correlation of \(X<U+1D62>\) with the other \(X\) variables included in the regression equation. The partial standard deviation is calculated as \(s*<U+2093><U+1D62> = s<U+2093><U+1D62> <U+221A>(VIF<U+2093><U+1D62><U+207B><U+00B9>) <U+221A>((n-1)/(n-p)) \), where VIF is the variance inflation factor, n is the number of observations and p number of predictors in the model. Coefficient is then transformed as \(\beta<U+1D62>* = \beta<U+1D62> s*<U+2093><U+1D62> \).
