summaryMA function

Summary of model averaged linear mixed models

summaryMA is a function used to produce result summaries of the model averaging approach.

summaryMA(object, randeff = FALSE)

Arguments

• object: A object created by the model averaging function.
• randeff: logical. Indicator whether the model averaged random effects should also be part of the output. The default setting is FALSE.

Returns

Outputs a summary of the model averaged random and fixed effects, as well as the calculated weights of the individual candidate models.

Examples

data(Orthodont, package = "nlme")
models <- list(
    model1 <- lmer(formula = distance ~ age + Sex + (1 | Subject) + age:Sex,
               data = Orthodont),
    model2 <- lmer(formula = distance ~ age + Sex + (1 | Subject),
               data = Orthodont),
    model3 <- lmer(formula = distance ~ age + (1 | Subject),
                 data = Orthodont),
    model4 <- lmer(formula = distance ~ Sex + (1 | Subject),
                data = Orthodont))
foo <- modelAvg(models = models)
summaryMA(foo)
