DImodels (version 1.3.2)

extract: Extract terms from a DI or autoDI model object

Description

Extracts terms from a DI or autoDI model object that were calculated using the data preparation functions prior to the model fitting procedure.

Usage

extract(obj, what = c("FULL","ADD","FG","AV","E"))
# S3 method for DI
extract(obj, what = c("FULL","ADD","FG","AV","E"))
# S3 method for autoDI
extract(obj, what = c("FULL","ADD","FG","AV","E"))

Value

A list containing one or more of the following elements:

E

the evenness interaction variable

AV

the average pairwise interaction variable

FG

the functional group-related interaction variables

ADD

the additive species contributions interaction variables

FULL

all pairwise interactions

Arguments

obj

a DI or autoDI model object

what

the variable(s) to be extracted from the object.

Examples

## Load the Switzerland data
  data(Switzerland)

## Fit the FG DImodel, with factors density and treatment, and with theta = 1
  m1 <- DI(y = "yield", density = "density", prop = 4:7, treat = "nitrogen", 
           FG = c("G","G","L","L"), DImodel = "FG", data = Switzerland)

## Extract the FG terms
  extract(m1, what = "FG")
