print.topmod {BMS}

R Documentation

Printing topmod Objects

Description

Print method for objects of class 'topmod', typically the best models stored in a 'bma' object

Usage

## S3 method for class 'topmod'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x	an object of class 'topmod' - see topmod
...	additional arguments passed to link{print}

Details

See pmp.bma for an explanation of likelihood vs. MCMC frequency concepts

Value

if x contains more than one model, then the function returns a 2-column matrix:

Row Names	show the model binaries in hexcode
Column 'Marg.Log.Lik'	shows the marginal log-likelihoods of the models in x
Column 'MCMC Freq'	shows the MCMC frequencies of the models in x

if x contains only one model, then more detailed information is shown for this model:

first line	'Model Index' provides the model binary in hexcode, 'Marg.Log.Lik' its marginal log likelhood, 'Sampled Freq.' how often it was accepted (function ncount() in topmod)
Estimates	first column: covariate indices included in the model, second column: posterior expected value of the coefficients, third column: their posterior standard deviations (excluded if no coefficients were stored in the topmod object - cf. argument bbeta in topmod)
Included Covariates	the model binary
Additional Statistics	any custom additional statistics saved with the model

Examples

# do some small-scale BMA for demonstration
data(datafls)
mm=bms(datafls[,1:10],nmodel=20)

#print info on the best 20 models
print(mm$topmod)
print(mm$topmod,digits=10)

#equivalent:
cbind(mm$topmod$lik(),mm$topmod$ncount())



#now print info only for the second-best model:
print(mm$topmod[2])

#compare 'Included Covariates' to:
topmodels.bma(mm[2])

#and to
as.vector(mm$topmod[2]$bool_binary())
