apa_print.lme: Typeset Statistical Results from Nonlinear Hierarchical Models

Description

These methods take mixed-effects models fitted with the nlme package and create formatted character strings report the results in accordance with APA manuscript guidelines.

Usage

# S3 method for lme
apa_print(x, conf.int = 0.95, in_paren = FALSE, est_name = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for anova.lme
apa_print(x, in_paren = FALSE, ...)

Value

apa_print()-methods return a named list of class apa_results containing the following elements:

estimate

One or more character strings giving point estimates, confidence intervals, and confidence level. A single string is returned in a vector; multiple strings are returned as a named list. If no estimate is available the element is NULL.

statistic

One or more character strings giving the test statistic, parameters (e.g., degrees of freedom), and p-value. A single string is returned in a vector; multiple strings are returned as a named list. If no estimate is available the element is NULL.

full_result

One or more character strings comprised `estimate` and `statistic`. A single string is returned in a vector; multiple strings are returned as a named list.

table

A data.frame of class apa_results_table that contains all elements of estimate and statistics. This table can be passed to apa_table() for reporting.

Column names in apa_results_table are standardized following the broom glossary (e.g., term, estimate

conf.int, statistic, df, df.residual, p.value). Additionally, each column is labelled (e.g., $\hat{\eta}^2_G$ or $t$) using the tinylabels package and these labels are used as column names when an apa_results_table is passed to apa_table().

Arguments

x

A (non-)linear mixed-effects model fitted with nlme::lme() or nlme::nlme()

conf.int

Numeric specifying the required confidence level or a named list of additional arguments that are passed to nlme::intervals.lme().

in_paren

Logical. Whether the formatted string is to be reported in parentheses. If TRUE, parentheses in the formatted string (e.g., those enclosing degrees of freedom) are replaced with brackets.

est_name

An optional character. The label to be used for fixed-effects coefficients.

...

Further arguments that may be passed to apa_num to format estimates (i.e., columns estimate and conf.int).

Examples

  library(nlme)
  fm1 <- lme(distance ~ age, data = Orthodont, method = "ML") # random is ~ age
  apa_print(fm1, conf.int = .9)
  # ANOVA-like tables
  single_anova <- anova(fm1)
  apa_print(single_anova)
