loglinb2

Loglinear Model for Two Binary Responses


Description

Fits a loglinear model to two binary responses.

Usage

loglinb2(exchangeable = FALSE, zero = "u12")

Arguments

exchangeable

Logical. If TRUE, the two marginal probabilities are constrained to be equal. Should be set TRUE for ears, eyes, etc. data.

zero

Which linear/additive predictors are modelled as intercept-only? A NULL means none of them. See CommonVGAMffArguments for more information.

Details

The model is

P(Y1=y1,Y2=y2) = exp(u0 + u1*y1 + u2*y2 + u12*y1*y2)

where y1 and y2 are 0 or 1, and the parameters are u1, u2, u12. The normalizing parameter u0 can be expressed as a function of the other parameters, viz.,

u0 = -log[1 + exp(u1) + exp(u2) + exp(u1 + u2 + u12)].

The linear/additive predictors are (eta1,eta2,eta3) = (u1,u2,u12).

Value

An object of class "vglmff" (see vglmff-class). The object is used by modelling functions such as vglm, rrvglm and vgam.

When fitted, the fitted.values slot of the object contains the four joint probabilities, labelled as (Y1,Y2) = (0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1), respectively.

Note

The response must be a two-column matrix of ones and zeros only. This is more restrictive than binom2.or, which can handle more types of input formats. Note that each of the 4 combinations of the multivariate response need to appear in the data set. After estimation, the response attached to the object is also a two-column matrix; possibly in the future it might change into a four-column matrix.

coef(fit, matrix = TRUE)  # Same! (at least for the log odds-ratio)
summary(fit)

# Try reconcile this with McCullagh and Nelder (1989), p.234
(0.166-0.131) / 0.027458   # 1.275 is approximately 1.25
