R Documentation

Adjust the intercept to regain the balance property

Description

This function updates the intercept term of the model fit such that the balance property is satisfied.

Usage

adjustIntercept(obj, data)

Arguments

obj	an object of type glm, cpglm or cpglmm containing the model fit.
data	a data.frame or data.table object that was used to fit the model.

Value

Examples

library(statmod)
datas  = dataCar[1:1e3, ]
Fit    = glm(Y ~ area + gender, data = datas, weights = datas$w, family = tweedie(1.75, 0),
model = TRUE, control = glm.control(epsilon = 1e-4, maxit = 5e2))
w      = weights(Fit, "prior")
y      = Fit$y
sum(w * y) == sum(w * fitted(Fit))
adjFit = adjustIntercept(Fit, datas)
coef(adjFit)
sum(w * y) == sum(w * fitted(adjFit))
