get.link: Compute sets of link values for real parameters
Description
Computes link values for real parameters for a particular type of parameter
(parameter) and returns in a table (dataframe) format.Usage
get.link(model, parameter, beta = NULL, design = NULL, data = NULL,
vcv = FALSE)
Arguments
parameter
type of parameter in model (character) (e.g.,"Phi")
beta
values of beta parameters for computation of link values
design
a numeric design matrix with any covariate values filled in
with numerical values
data
covariate data to be averaged for estimates if design=NULL
vcv
if TRUE computes and returns the v-c matrix of the subset of the
link values
Value
- estimates: If
vcv=TRUE, a list is returned with elements
vcv.link and the dataframe estimates. If vcv=FALSE,
only the estimates dataframe is returned which has the same structure as in
get.real.
Details
This function is very similar to get.real except that it
provides estimates of link values before they are transformed to real
estimates using the inverse-link. Also, the value is always a dataframe for
the estimates and design data and optionally a variance-covariance matrix.
See get.real for further details about the arguments.
