LM class

Source: R/AllClasses.R, R/formula-methods.R
LM-class.Rd

S4 class for linear models with empirical likelihood. It inherits from CEL class.

Details

The overall test involves a constrained optimization problem. All the parameters except for the intercept are constrained to zero. The optim slot contains the results. When there is no intercept, all parameters are set to zero, and the results need to be understood in terms of EL class since no constrained optimization is involved. Once the solution is found, the log probabilities (logp) and the (constrained) empirical likelihood values (logl, loglr, statistic) readily follow, along with the degrees of freedom (df) and the \(p\)-value (pval). The significance tests for each parameter also involve constrained optimization problems where only one parameter is constrained to zero. The sigTests slot contains the results.

Methods (by generic)

  • formula(LM): Extracts the symbolic model formula used in el_lm() or el_glm().

Slots

sigTests

A list of the following results of significance tests:

  • statistic A numeric vector of minus twice the (constrained) empirical log-likelihood ratios with asymptotic chi-square distributions.

  • iterations An integer vector for the number of iterations performed for each parameter.

  • convergence A logical vector for the convergence status of each parameter.

call

A matched call.

terms

A terms object used.

misc

optim

A list of the following optimization results:

  • par A numeric vector of the solution to the (constrained) optimization problem.

  • lambda A numeric vector of the Lagrange multipliers of the dual problem corresponding to par.

  • iterations A single integer for the number of iterations performed.

  • convergence A single logical for the convergence status.

logp

A numeric vector of the log probabilities of the (constrained) empirical likelihood.

logl

A single numeric of the (constrained) empirical log-likelihood.

loglr

A single numeric of the (constrained) empirical log-likelihood ratio.

statistic

A single numeric of minus twice the (constrained) empirical log-likelihood ratio with an asymptotic chi-square distribution.

df

A single integer for the degrees of freedom of the statistic.

pval

A single numeric for the \(p\)-value of the statistic.

nobs

A single integer for the number of observations.
