printmnRR {logisticRR}

Print adjusted relative risk using multinomial logistic regression under nominal exposure variable.

Description

Print adjusted relative risk using multinomial logistic regression under nominal exposure variable.

Usage

printmnRR(formula, basecov, comparecov, fixcov = NULL, data)

Arguments

formula

a formula term that is passed into multinom() where response should be a factor having K different levels. Every term appearing in the formula should be well-defined as a column of data. Reference response should be specified as the first level.

basecov

a baseline value of exposure variable. Defaults to 0.

comparecov

a value of exposure variable for comparison. Defaults to the first level.

fixcov

a data frame of fixed value for each of adjusted confounders. If there is no confounder other than the exposure variable of interest, fixcov = NULL; if fixcov is missing for existing covariates, they are all set to 0 (for numerical covariates) or to the first level (for factor covariates).

data

a data frame containing response variable and all the terms used in formula.

Value

fit

an object of class multinom.

RRR

(adjusted) relative risk ratio of K different responses compared to reference response under exposure at baseline (basecov) and basecov + 1.

RR

(adjusted) relative risk of K different responses under exposure at baseline (basecov) and basecov + 1.

delta.var

estimated variance of relative risk (RR) using Delta method.

fix.cov

a data frame of fixed value for each of adjsuted confounders.

Examples

n <- 500
set.seed(1234)
X <- rbinom(n, 1, 0.3)
W <- rbinom(n, 1, 0.3)
W[sample(1:n, n/3)] = 2
Y <- rbinom(n, 1, plogis(X - W))
multiY <- ifelse(X == 1 , rbinom(n, 1, 0.7) + Y, rbinom(n, 1, 0.2) + Y)
print(table(multiY))
dat <- as.data.frame(cbind(multiY, X, W))
dat$W <- as.factor(dat$W)
result <- printmnRR(multiY ~ W + X, basecov = 0, comparecov = 1, data = dat)
