Description

Computes the main effect that a specific value of a variable produces on the outcome probability in a cacc_matrix.

main_effect(cacc_matrix, iv, value, summary = TRUE)

Arguments

cacc_matrix

A tibble. The output of the cacc function.

iv

A single variable name contained in a cacc_matrix.
