betaor: Odds ratios for a beta regression.

Description

This function estimates a beta regression model and calculates the corresponding odds ratios.

Usage

betaor(formula, data, robust = FALSE, clustervar1 = NULL, clustervar2 = NULL, 
       control = betareg.control(), link.phi = NULL, type = "ML")

Arguments

formula

an object of class ``formula'' (or one that can be coerced to that class).

data

the data frame containing these data. This argument must be used.

robust

if TRUE the function reports White/robust standard errors.

clustervar1

a character value naming the first cluster on which to adjust the standard errors.

clustervar2

a character value naming the second cluster on which to adjust the standard errors for two-way clustering.

control

a list of control arguments specified via betareg.control.

link.phi

as in the betareg function.

type

as in the betareg function.

Value

oddsratio

a coefficient matrix with columns containing the estimates, associated standard errors, test statistics and p-values.

fit

the fitted betareg object.

call

the matched call.

Details

The underlying link function in the mean model (mu) is "logit". If both robust=TRUE and !is.null(clustervar1) the function overrides the robust command and computes clustered standard errors.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# simulate some data
set.seed(12345)
n = 1000
x = rnorm(n)

# beta outcome
y = rbeta(n, shape1 = plogis(1 + 0.5 * x), shape2 = (abs(0.2*x)))
# use Smithson and Verkuilen correction
y = (y*(n-1)+0.5)/n

data = data.frame(y,x)
betaor(y~x|x, data=data)
# }
