loglinb2: Loglinear Model for Two Binary Responses

Description

Fits a loglinear model to two binary responses.

Usage

loglinb2(exchangeable = FALSE, zero = NULL)

Arguments

exchangeable
Logical. If TRUE, the two marginal probabilities are constrained to be equal. Should be set TRUE for ears, eyes, etc. data.
zero
Which linear/additive predictor is modelled as an intercept only? A NULL means none of them.

Value

  • An object of class "vglmff" (see vglmff-class). The object is used by modelling functions such as vglm, rrvglm and vgam.

    When fitted, the fitted.values slot of the object contains the four joint probabilities, labelled as $(Y_1,Y_2)$ = (0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1), respectively.

Details

The model is P(Y1=y1,Y2=y2)=exp⁡(u0+u1y1+u2y2+u12y1y2) where $y_1$ and $y_2$ are 0 or 1, and the parameters are $u_1$, $u_2$, $u_{12}$. The normalizing parameter $u_0$ can be expressed as a function of the other parameters, viz., u0=−log⁡[1+exp⁡(u1)+exp⁡(u2)+exp⁡(u1+u2+u12)]. The linear/additive predictors are $(\eta_1,\eta_2,\eta_3)^T = (u_1,u_2,u_{12})^T$.

Examples

Run this code
data(coalminers)
coalminers = transform(coalminers, age=(age-42)/5)

# Get the n x 4 matrix of counts 
temp = vglm(cbind(nBnW,nBW,BnW,BW) ~ age, binom2.or, coalminers)
counts = round(c(weights(temp, type="prior")) * temp@y)

# Create a n x 2 matrix response for loglinb2()
# bwmat = matrix(c(0,0, 0,1, 1,0, 1,1), 4, 2, byrow=TRUE)
bwmat = cbind(bln=c(0,0,1,1), wheeze=c(0,1,0,1))
matof1 = matrix(1, nrow(counts), 1)
newminers = data.frame(bln = kronecker(matof1, bwmat[,1]),
                       wheeze = kronecker(matof1, bwmat[,2]),
                       wt = c(t(counts)),
                       age = with(coalminers, rep(age, rep(4, length(age)))))
newminers = newminers[with(newminers, wt) > 0,]

fit = vglm(cbind(bln,wheeze) ~ age, loglinb2, wei=wt, data=newminers)
coef(fit, mat=TRUE)    # Same! (at least for the log odds-ratio) 
summary(fit)
