find_terms: Find all model terms

Description

Returns a list with the names of all terms, including response value and random effects, "as is". This means, on-the-fly tranformations or arithmetic expressions like log(), I(), as.factor() etc. are preserved.

Usage

find_terms(x, ...)

# S3 method for default find_terms(x, flatten = FALSE, as_term_labels = FALSE, verbose = TRUE, ...)

Value

A list with (depending on the model) following elements (character vectors):

  • response, the name of the response variable

  • conditional, the names of the predictor variables from the conditional model (as opposed to the zero-inflated part of a model)

  • random, the names of the random effects (grouping factors)

  • zero_inflated, the names of the predictor variables from the zero-inflated part of the model

  • zero_inflated_random, the names of the random effects (grouping factors)

  • dispersion, the name of the dispersion terms

  • instruments, the names of instrumental variables

Returns NULL if no terms could be found (for instance, due to problems in accessing the formula).

Arguments

x

A fitted model.

...

Currently not used.

flatten

Logical, if TRUE, the values are returned as character vector, not as list. Duplicated values are removed.

as_term_labels

Logical, if TRUE, extracts model formula and tries to access the "term.labels" attribute. This should better mimic the terms() behaviour even for those models that do not have such a method, but may be insufficient, e.g. for mixed models.

verbose

Toggle warnings.

Examples

Run this code
data(sleepstudy, package = "lme4")
m <- suppressWarnings(lme4::lmer(
  log(Reaction) ~ Days + I(Days^2) + (1 + Days + exp(Days) | Subject),
  data = sleepstudy
))

find_terms(m)

# sometimes, it is necessary to retrieve terms from "term.labels" attribute
m <- lm(mpg ~ hp * (am + cyl), data = mtcars)
find_terms(m, as_term_labels = TRUE)
