aggregate_terms {ddecompose}

Aggregate decomposition terms

Description

The function aggregates decomposition terms and calculates their covariance matrix based on detailed decomposition results.

Usage

aggregate_terms(
  x,
  aggregate_factors = TRUE,
  custom_aggregation = NULL,
  reweighting
)

Arguments

x

an object of class "ob_decompose", usually , a result of a call to [ob_decompose()].

aggregate_factors

boolean, if 'TRUE' (default) terms associated with detailed factor levels are aggregated to a single term for every factor variable.

custom_aggregation

list specifying the aggregation of detailed decomposition terms. The parameter 'custom_aggregation' overrides the parameter 'aggregate_factors'. If 'NULL' (default), then either all detailed terms or all terms associated with a single variable are returned.

reweighting

boolean, if 'TRUE' the decompostion in 'object' contains reweighting (i.e. specification and reweighting error)

Value

The function returns an updated object of class "ob_decompose" containing the aggregated decomposition terms.
