report {eatRep}

Reporting function for repMean, repTable, repQuantile, and repGlm

Description

Summarizes the output of the four main functions repMean,repTable, repQuantile, and repGlm, and provides a single data.frame with all results.

Usage

report(repFunOut, trendDiffs = FALSE, add = list(),
      exclude = c("NcasesValid", "var", "sampleSize"), printGlm = FALSE,
      round = TRUE, digits = 3, printDeviance = FALSE)

Arguments

repFunOut

output of one of the four eatRep-functions.

trendDiffs

Logical: compute differences of trends?

add

Optional: additional columns for output. See examples of the jk2-functions

exclude

Which parameters should be excluded from reporting?

printGlm

Only relevant for repGlm: print summary on console?

round

Logical: should the results be rounded to a limited number of digits?

digits

How many digits should be used for rounding?

printDeviance

Only relevant for repGlm when other than the identical function is used as link function, and if printGlm is TRUE. Should the deviance information printed additionally? Note: To print deviance information, the argument poolMethod of the repGlm function must be set to "scalar".

Value

A data frame with at least nine columns.

group

Denotes the group an analysis belongs to. If no groups were specified and/or analysis for the whole sample were requested, the value of ‘group’ is ‘wholeGroup’.

depVar

Denotes the name of the dependent variable in the analysis.

modus

Denotes the mode of the analysis. For example, if a JK2 regression analysis was conducted, ‘modus’ takes the value ‘JK2.glm’. If a mean analysis without any replicates was conducted, ‘modus’ takes the value ‘CONV.mean’.

comparison

Denotes whether group mean comparisons or cross-level comparisons were conducted. Without any comparisons, ‘comparison’ takes the value ‘NA’

parameter

Denotes the parameter of the corresponding analysis. If regression analysis was applied, the regression parameter is given. Amongst others, the ‘parameter’ column takes the values ‘(Intercept)’ and ‘gendermale’ if ‘gender’ was the independent variable, for instance. If mean analysis was applied, the ‘parameter’ column takes the values ‘mean’, ‘sd’, ‘var’, or ‘Nvalid’. See the examples of repMean,repTable, repQuantile, or repGlm for further details.

depVar

Denotes the name of the dependent variable (only if repGlm was called before)

est

Denotes the estimate of the corresponding analysis.

se

Denotes the standard error of the corresponding estimate.

p

Denotes the p value of the estimate.
