profile.glm
Method for Profiling glm Objects
Description
Investigates the profile log-likelihood function for a fitted model of class "glm"
.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'glm' profile(fitted, which = 1:p, alpha = 0.01, maxsteps = 10, del = zmax/5, trace = FALSE, ...)
Arguments
fitted | the original fitted model object. |
which | the original model parameters which should be profiled. This can be a numeric or character vector. By default, all parameters are profiled. |
alpha | highest significance level allowed for the profile t-statistics. |
maxsteps | maximum number of points to be used for profiling each parameter. |
del | suggested change on the scale of the profile t-statistics. Default value chosen to allow profiling at about 10 parameter values. |
trace | logical: should the progress of profiling be reported? |
... | further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
Details
The profile t-statistic is defined as the square root of change in sum-of-squares divided by residual standard error with an appropriate sign.
Value
A list of classes "profile.glm"
and "profile"
with an element for each parameter being profiled. The elements are data-frames with two variables
par.vals | a matrix of parameter values for each fitted model. |
tau | the profile t-statistics. |
