Get information for a geelm/geeglm object

getGEE(object, name, ...)

getME(object, name, ...)

Arguments

object

A geeglm model object as obtained from geepack::geeglm() or a geelm object as obtained from geeasy::geelm()

name

Name of the slot/component of the geelm/geeglm object that should be returned. See list of possible names in details below.

...

Any additional arguments passed on to other functions.

Value

The requested slot of the object.

Details

The allowed names are:

coefficients or beta: Coefficients from the mean structure model (betas) on their original scales

residuals: Pearson residuals, in the order of the inputted dataset (with NAs omitted).

fitted.values: Fitted values (response scale), in the order of the inputted dataset (with NAs omitted).

rank: The rank of the model matrix, i.e. the number of estimated mean structure coefficients.

family: A family object specifying which exponential family was used for fitting the mean structure model, see family for more information.

linear.predictors: The linear predictor on the original scale.

df.residuals: Residual degrees of freedom.

corstr: Name of the correlation structured imposed on the model. If the correlation structure requires further information, it is stored in a suitably named attribute. For example, for m-dependent correlation structures, the m scalar is available in an attribute named Mv.

std.err: Method used to estimate the standard error of the mean structure coefficients (betas).

alpha: The estimated parameter(s) for the variance structure.

gamma or dispersion: The estimated dispersion parameter.

vbeta: The estimated variance matrix of the mean structure (beta) coefficients.

beta.se: The standard errors of the mean structure (beta) coefficients.

clusz or clustersizes: Sizes of each of the clusters in the data.

nclusters: The total number of clusters.
