This may be used in conjunction with `is.estble()` to determine the estimability (within a tolerance) of a given linear function of the regression coefficients in a linear model. * A set of `epredict()` methods are provided for `lm`, `glm`, and `mlm` objects. These work just like `predict()`, except an `NA` is returned for any cases that are not estimable. This is a useful alternative to the generic warning that "predictions from rank-deficient models are unreliable." * A function `estble.subspace()` that projects a set of linear functions onto an estimable subspace (possibly of smaller dimension). This can be useful in creating a set of estimable contrasts for joint testing. * Package developers may wish to import this package and incorporate estimability checks for their `predict` methods. ## Installation * To install latest version from CRAN, run ``` install.packages("estimability") ``` Release notes for the latest CRAN version are found at [https://cran.r-project.org/package=estimability/NEWS](https://cran.r-project.org/package=estimability/NEWS) -- or do `news(package = "estimability")` for notes on the version you have installed. * To install the latest development version from Github, have the newest **devtools** package installed, then run ``` devtools::install_github("rvlenth/estimability", dependencies = TRUE) ``` For latest release notes on this development version, see the [NEWS file](https://github.com/rvlenth/estimability/blob/master/inst/NEWS) estimability/MD50000644000176200001440000000105413240127175013263 0ustar liggesusersc5539a90004ac7a04f3b3ac1d52bbec5 *DESCRIPTION 47cdcc6d5c62c6c8832a4ce1dcac1589 *NAMESPACE 584c7aa35dc12a50863e410d1a6c9407 *R/epredict.lm.R db937ec225a2778864ac557a0bd09511 *R/estble-subsp.R 49accccbc10c899315b86d082a30eb7e *R/estimability.R ee820fb13e95785e4305f7dec08a1a66 *README.md 79a090cd6a66e0d2400ead86e7e6fe97 *inst/NEWS a80594f2fc3d419746baa553f5de57df *man/epredict.lm.Rd 76344948cf755a7caf150250283fedd2 *man/estble-subspace.Rd aae9f4ed984b658a3c55772610998377 *man/estimability-package.Rd d2634039b8a5c8290b5539c33654817f *man/nonest.basis.Rd estimability/DESCRIPTION0000644000176200001440000000156013240127175014463 0ustar liggesusersPackage: estimability Type: Package Title: Tools for Assessing Estimability of Linear Predictions Version: 1.3 Date: 2018-02-10 Authors@R: c(person("Russell", "Lenth", role = c("aut", "cre", "cph"), email = "russell-lenth@uiowa.edu")) Depends: stats Description: Provides tools for determining estimability of linear functions of regression coefficients, and 'epredict' methods that handle non-estimable cases correctly.

Lenth # \name{estimability-package} \alias{estimability-package} \alias{estimability} \docType{package} \title{ Estimability Tools for Linear Models } \description{ Provides tools for determining estimability of linear functions of regression coefficients, and alternative \code{epredict} methods for \code{lm}, \code{glm}, and \code{mlm} objects that handle non-estimable cases correctly. } \details{ \tabular{ll}{ Package: \tab estimability\cr Type: \tab Package\cr Details: \tab See DESCRIPTION file\cr } When a linear model is not of full rank, the regression coefficients are not uniquely estimable. However, the predicted values are unique, as are other linear combinations where the coefficients lie in the row space of the data matrix. Thus, estimability of a linear function of regression coefficients can be determined by testing whether the coefficients lie in this row space -- or equivalently, are orthogonal to the corresponding null space. This package provides functions \code{\link{nonest.basis}} and \code{\link{is.estble}} to facilitate such an estimability test. Package developers may find these useful for incorporating in their \code{predict} methods when new predictor settings are involved. The function \code{\link{estble.subspace}} is useful for projecting a matrix onto an estimable subspace whose rows are all estimable. The package also provides \code{\link{epredict}} methods -- alternatives to the \code{\link{predict}} methods in the \pkg{stats} package for \code{"lm"}, \code{"glm"}, and \code{"mlm"} objects. When the \code{newdata} argument is specified, estimability of each new prediction is checked and any non-estimable cases are replaced by \code{NA}. } \author{ Russell V.

If \eqn{X} is not of full rank, it is not possible to estimate \eqn{\beta} uniquely. However, \eqn{X\beta} \emph{is} uniquely estimable, and so is \eqn{a'X\beta} for any conformable vector \eqn{a}. Since \eqn{a'X} comprises a linear combination of the rows of \eqn{X}, it follows that we can estimate any linear function where the coefficients lie in the row space of \eqn{X}. Equivalently, we can check to ensure that the coefficients are orthogonal to the null space of \eqn{X}. The constant \code{all.estble} is simply a 1 x 1 matrix of \code{NA}. This specifies a trivial non-estimability basis, and using it as \code{nbasis} will cause everything to test as estimable. } \value{ When \eqn{X} is not full-rank, the methods for \code{nonest.basis} return a basis for the null space of \eqn{X}. The number of rows is equal to the number of regression coefficients (\emph{including} any \code{NA}s); and the number of columns is equal to the rank deficiency of the model matrix. The columns are orthonormal. If the model is full-rank, then \code{nonest.basis} returns \code{all.estble}. The \code{matrix} method uses \eqn{X} itself, the \code{qr} method uses the \eqn{QR} decomposition of \eqn{X}, and the \code{lm} method recovers the required information from the object. The function \code{is.estble} returns a logical value (or vector, if \code{x} is a matrix) that is \code{TRUE} if the function is estimable and \code{FALSE} if not. } \references{ Monahan, John F.
