Altered, Inflated and Truncated Values in GAIT Regression

Description

Return the altered, inflated and truncated values in a GAIT regression from a fitted object

Usage

altered(object, ...)
inflated(object, ...)
truncated(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class "vglm".

...

any additional arguments, to future-proof this function.

Details

Yee and Ma (2020) propose GAIT regression where values from three disjoint sets are referred to as special. These extractor functions return one set each; they are the alter, inflate, truncate (and sometimes max.support) arguments from the family function.

Value

Returns one type of ‘special’ sets assoicated with GAIT regression. This is a vector, else a list for truncation. All three sets are returned by specialsvglm.

Examples

abdata <- data.frame(y = 0:7, w = c(182, 41, 12, 2, 2, 0, 0, 1))
fit1 <- vglm(y ~ 1, gaitpoisson.mix(inflate = 1), abdata, weight = w,
             subset = w > 0)
altered(fit1)
inflated(fit1)
truncated(fit1)
specials(fit1)  # All three sets
