cos2Weights: Cos-squared model weights

Description

Calculates cos-squared model weights, following the algorithm outlined in the appendix of Garthwaite & Mubwandarikwa (2010).

Usage

cos2Weights(object, ..., data, eps = 1e-06, maxit = 100,
  predict.args = list())

Arguments

object, …

two or more fitted glm objects, or a list of such, or an "averaging" object. Currently only lm and glm objects are accepted.

data

a test data frame in which to look for variables for use with prediction. If omitted, the fitted linear predictors are used.

eps

tolerance for determining convergence.

maxit

maximum number of iterations.

predict.args

optionally, a list of additional arguments to be passed to predict.

Value

The function returns a numeric vector of model weights.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
fm <- lm(y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X4, Cement, na.action = na.fail)
# most efficient way to produce a list of all-subsets models
models <- lapply(dredge(fm, evaluate = FALSE), eval)
ma <- model.avg(models)

test.data <- Cement
Weights(ma) <- cos2Weights(models, data = test.data)
predict(ma, data = test.data)
# }
