Tidy summarizes information about the components of a model. A model component might be a single term in a regression, a single hypothesis, a cluster, or a class. Exactly what tidy considers to be a model component varies across models but is usually self-evident. If a model has several distinct types of components, you will need to specify which components to return.

Usage

# S3 method for felm
tidy(
  x,
  conf.int = FALSE,
  conf.level = 0.95,
  fe = FALSE,
  se.type = c("default", "iid", "robust", "cluster"),
  ...
)

Arguments

x

A felm object returned from lfe::felm().

conf.int

Logical indicating whether or not to include a confidence interval in the tidied output. Defaults to FALSE.

conf.level

The confidence level to use for the confidence interval if conf.int = TRUE. Must be strictly greater than 0 and less than 1. Defaults to 0.95, which corresponds to a 95 percent confidence interval.

fe

Logical indicating whether or not to include estimates of fixed effects. Defaults to FALSE.

se.type

Character indicating the type of standard errors. Defaults to using those of the underlying felm() model object, e.g. clustered errors for models that were provided a cluster specification. Users can override these defaults by specifying an appropriate alternative: "iid" (for homoskedastic errors), "robust" (for Eicker-Huber-White robust errors), or "cluster" (for clustered standard errors; if the model object supports it).

...

Additional arguments. Not used. Needed to match generic signature only. Cautionary note: Misspelled arguments will be absorbed in ..., where they will be ignored. If the misspelled argument has a default value, the default value will be used. For example, if you pass conf.lvel = 0.9, all computation will proceed using conf.level = 0.95. Two exceptions here are:

  • tidy() methods will warn when supplied an exponentiate argument if it will be ignored.

  • augment() methods will warn when supplied a newdata argument if it will be ignored.

Other felm tidiers: augment.felm()

Value

A tibble::tibble() with columns:

conf.high

Upper bound on the confidence interval for the estimate.

conf.low

Lower bound on the confidence interval for the estimate.

estimate

The estimated value of the regression term.

p.value

The two-sided p-value associated with the observed statistic.

statistic

The value of a T-statistic to use in a hypothesis that the regression term is non-zero.

std.error

The standard error of the regression term.

term

The name of the regression term.
