DImodels (version 1.3.2)

update_DI: Update DI function call

Description

Update the call to the DI function. This function allows users to update a previous call to the DI function by only updating the relevant arguments from DI, without the need to write out the full DI code again.

Usage

update_DI(object, ...)

Value

A model object of class "glm" including the components detailed in glm, plus the following:

DIcall

the call of the DI function

DIinternalcall

an internal call made within the DI model fitting process

Arguments

object

a DI model object

...

other arguments passed to the DI function

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)
  summary(m1)

## Fit the FG DImodel, with factors density and treatment, and theta estimated
  m2 <- update_DI(m1, estimate_theta = TRUE)
  summary(m2)

## Fit the FULL DImodel, with factors density and treatment, and theta estimated
  m3 <- update_DI(m1, DImodel = "FULL", estimate_theta = TRUE)
  summary(m3)
