standard_error: Standard Errors

Description

standard_error() attempts to return standard errors of model parameters.

Usage

standard_error(model, ...)
# S3 method for default
standard_error(
  model,
  component = "all",
  vcov = NULL,
  vcov_args = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)
# S3 method for factor
standard_error(model, force = FALSE, verbose = TRUE, ...)
# S3 method for glmmTMB
standard_error(
  model,
  effects = "fixed",
  component = "all",
  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)
# S3 method for merMod
standard_error(
  model,
  effects = "fixed",
  method = NULL,
  vcov = NULL,
  vcov_args = NULL,
  ...
)

Value

A data frame with at least two columns: the parameter names and the standard errors. Depending on the model, may also include columns for model components etc.

Arguments

model

A model.

...

Arguments passed to or from other methods.

component

Model component for which standard errors should be shown. See the documentation for your object's class in model_parameters() or p_value() for further details.

vcov

Variance-covariance matrix used to compute uncertainty estimates (e.g., for robust standard errors). This argument accepts a covariance matrix, a function which returns a covariance matrix, or a string which identifies the function to be used to compute the covariance matrix.

• A covariance matrix

• A function which returns a covariance matrix (e.g., stats::vcov())

• A string which indicates the kind of uncertainty estimates to return.

  • Heteroskedasticity-consistent: "vcovHC", "HC", "HC0", "HC1", "HC2", "HC3", "HC4", "HC4m", "HC5". See ?sandwich::vcovHC.

  • Cluster-robust: "vcovCR", "CR0", "CR1", "CR1p", "CR1S", "CR2", "CR3". See ?clubSandwich::vcovCR.

  • Bootstrap: "vcovBS", "xy", "residual", "wild", "mammen", "webb". See ?sandwich::vcovBS.

  • Other sandwich package functions: "vcovHAC", "vcovPC", "vcovCL", "vcovPL".

vcov_args

List of arguments to be passed to the function identified by the vcov argument. This function is typically supplied by the sandwich or clubSandwich packages. Please refer to their documentation (e.g., ?sandwich::vcovHAC) to see the list of available arguments.

verbose

Toggle warnings and messages.

force

Logical, if TRUE, factors are converted to numerical values to calculate the standard error, with the lowest level being the value 1 (unless the factor has numeric levels, which are converted to the corresponding numeric value). By default, NA is returned for factors or character vectors.

effects

Should standard errors for fixed effects ("fixed"), random effects ("random"), or both ("all") be returned? Only applies to mixed models. May be abbreviated. When standard errors for random effects are requested, for each grouping factor a list of standard errors (per group level) for random intercepts and slopes is returned.

method

Method for computing degrees of freedom for confidence intervals (CI) and the related p-values. Allowed are following options (which vary depending on the model class): "residual", "normal", "likelihood", "satterthwaite", "kenward", "wald", "profile", "boot", "uniroot", "ml1", "betwithin", "hdi", "quantile", "ci", "eti", "si", "bci", or "bcai". See section Confidence intervals and approximation of degrees of freedom in model_parameters() for further details.

Examples

model <- lm(Petal.Length ~ Sepal.Length * Species, data = iris)
standard_error(model)

if (require("sandwich") && require("clubSandwich")) {
  standard_error(model, vcov = "HC3")

  standard_error(model,
    vcov = "vcovCL",
    vcov_args = list(cluster = iris$Species)
  )
}
