# the development version from github
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rsquaredacademy/olsrr")

Shiny App

Use ols_launch_app() to explore the package using a shiny app.

Vignettes

Consistent Prefix

olsrr uses consistent prefix ols_ for easy tab completion.

Quick Demo

olsrr is built with the aim of helping those users who are new to the R language. If you know how to write a formula or build models using lm, you will find olsrr very useful. Most of the functions use an object of class lm as input. So you just need to build a model using lm and then pass it onto the functions in olsrr. Below is a quick demo:

Breusch Pagan Test

Breusch Pagan test is used to test for herteroskedasticity (non-constant error variance). It tests whether the variance of the errors from a regression is dependent on the values of the independent variables. It is a χ2 test.

model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + drat, data = mtcars)
ols_bp_test(model)

Stepwise Regression

Build regression model from a set of candidate predictor variables by entering and removing predictors based on p values, in a stepwise manner until there is no variable left to enter or remove any more.

# stepwise regression
model <- lm(y ~ ., data = surgical)
ols_stepwise(model)

#> 1 variable(s) added...
#> 1 variable(s) added...
#> 1 variable(s) added...
#> 1 variable(s) added...
#> No more variables to be added or removed.
