check_distribution: Classify the distribution of a model-family using machine learning

Description

Choosing the right distributional family for regression models is essential to get more accurate estimates and standard errors. This function may help to check a models' distributional family and see if the model-family probably should be reconsidered. Since it is difficult to exactly predict the correct model family, consider this function as somewhat experimental.

Usage

check_distribution(model)

Arguments

model

A model (that should response to residuals()).

Details

This function uses an internal random forest model to classify the distribution from a model-family.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(lme4)
model <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject), sleepstudy)
check_distribution(model)

# }
