dfbeta.zeroinflation: Dfbeta statistic for Regression Models to deal with Zero-Excess in Count Data

Description

Produces an approximation, better known as the one-step approximation, of the effect on the parameter estimates of deleting each individual in turn. This function also can produce an index plot of the Dfbeta statistic for some parameter chosen via the argument coefs.

Usage

# S3 method for zeroinflation
dfbeta(model, submodel = c("counts", "zeros"), coefs, identify, ...)

Value

A matrix with so many rows as individuals in the sample and so many columns as parameters in the linear predictor. The \(i\)-th row of that matrix corresponds to the difference between the estimates of the parameters in the linear predictor using all individuals and the one-step approximation of those estimates when the i-th individual is excluded from the dataset.

Arguments

model

an object of class zeroinflation.

submodel

an (optional) character string which allows to specify the model: "counts" or "zeros". By default, submodel is set to "counts".

coefs

an (optional) character string which (partially) match with the names of some model parameters.

identify

an (optional) integer indicating the number of individuals to identify on the plot of the Dfbeta statistic. This is only appropriate if coefs is specified.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods. If plot.it=TRUE then ... may be used to include graphical parameters to customize the plot. For example, col, pch, cex, main, sub, xlab, ylab.

Details

The one-step approximation of the estimates of the parameters when the i-th individual is excluded from the dataset consists of the vector obtained as result of the first iteration of the Newthon-Raphson algorithm when it is performed using: (1) a dataset in which the i-th individual is excluded; and (2) a starting value which is the estimate of the same model but based on the dataset inluding all individuals.

####### Example 1: Self diagnozed ear infections in swimmers
data(swimmers)
fit <- zeroinf(infections ~ frequency + location, family="nb1(log)", data=swimmers)

       col.lab="blue", col.axis="blue", col.main="black", family="mono", cex=0.8)

dfbeta(fit, submodel="zeros", coefs="location", col="red", lty=1, lwd=1,
