print.cgOneFactorGlobalTest {cg}R Documentation

Print One Factor Global F-test object with some format options

Description

Print a cgOneFactorGlobalTest object, which contains global F-test p-value information taken from a cgOneFactorFit object.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'cgOneFactorGlobalTest'
print(x, title = NULL, endptname = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

An cgOneFactorGlobalTest object, typically created by globalTest.cgOneFactorFit.

title

The title printed out with the p-value. If NULL, it is set to be "Group Test P-value of" the analysisname value in the settings slot of the cgOneFactorGlobalTest object.

endptname

The endpoint name, printed out with the p-value. If NULL, it is set to the endptname value in the settings slot of the cgOneFactorGlobalTest object.

...

Additional arguments. Only one is currently valid:

model

For cgOneFactorGlobalTest objects that have p-values derived from classical least squares lm or resistant & robust rlm fits, the following argument values are possible:

"both"

Both the ordinary classical least squares and resistant & robust p-values are printed. This is the default when both fits are present in the cgOneFactorGlobalTest object specified in the x argument.

"olsonly"

Only the ordinary classical least squares p-value is printed.

"rronly"

Only the resistant & robust approximated p-value is printed.

For other possible cgOneFactorGlobalTest p-value components such as accelerated failure time or unequal variance models, the model argument is not relevant, and the single p-value will just be printed for these model types.

Details

The smallest actual p-value that will be printed is 0.001. Anything less than 0.001 will be displayed as < 0.001. If you need more digits, see the cgOneFactorGlobalTest object.

The notion of a global F test, or equivalently, of R^2, for resistant & robust linear models is murky, as no clear theoretical analogue to the ordinary classical least squares approach exists. See cgOneFactorGlobalTest for details, and regard the output p-value here as ad-hoc.

The object is printed using a mix of cat and print calls. See cgOneFactorGlobalTest for details of the *.gpval and other object slots.

Value

print.cgOneFactorGlobalTest returns invisible. The main purpose is the side effect of printing to the current output connection, which is typically the console.
