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 ref.grid
tidy(x, conf.int = FALSE, conf.level = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

x

A ref.grid object created by emmeans::ref_grid().

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.

...

Additional arguments passed to emmeans::summary.emmGrid() or lsmeans::summary.ref.grid(). Cautionary note: misspecified arguments may be silently ignored!

Details

Returns a data frame with one observation for each estimated marginal mean, and one column for each combination of factors. When the input is a contrast, each row will contain one estimated contrast.

There are a large number of arguments that can be passed on to emmeans::summary.emmGrid() or lsmeans::summary.ref.grid().

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.

df

Degrees of freedom used by this term in the model.

p.value

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

std.error

The standard error of the regression term.

estimate

Expected marginal mean

statistic

T-ratio statistic
