add_probs.lm: Response Level Probabilities for Linear Models

Description

This is the method add_probs uses if the model is of class lm. Probabilities are calculated parametrically, using a pivotal quantity.

Usage

# S3 method for lm
add_probs(tb, fit, q, name = NULL, yhatName = "pred",
  comparison = "

Arguments

tb

A tibble or data frame of new data.

fit

An object of class lm. Predictions are made with this object.

q

A real number. A quantile of the response distribution.

name

NULL or a string. If NULL, probabilities automatically will be named by add_probs, otherwise, the probabilities will be named name in the returned tibble.

yhatName

A character vector of length one. Names of the

comparison

"<", or ">". If comparison = "<", then \(Pr(Y|x < q)\) is calculated for each observation in tb. Otherwise, \(Pr(Y|x > q)\) is calculated.

log_response

A logical. Default is FALSE. Set to TRUE if the model is log-linear: \(\log(Y) = X \beta + \epsilon\).

...

Additional arguments.

Value

A tibble, tb, with predicted values and probabilities attached.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Fit a linear model
fit <- lm(dist ~ speed, data = cars)

# Calculate the probability that a new dist will be less than 20,
# given the model.
add_probs(cars, fit, q = 20)

# Calculate the probability that a new dist will be greater than
# 30, given the model.
add_probs(cars, fit, q = 30, comparison = ">")
