#statstab #340 How to interpret and report nonlinear effects from Generalized Additive Models

Thoughts: Maybe you heard about GAMs and spline, but not sure how to use them. Here's a #R tutorial.

How to interpret and report nonlinear effects from Generalized Additive Models | GAMbler

Generalized additive models (GAMs) are incredibly flexible tools that fit penalized regression splines to data. But interpreting nonlinear effects from GAMs is not as easy as interpreting linear models. In this post I provide 3 simple steps to help you understand and interpret nonlinear effects from GAMs using the mgcv R package.

#statstab #223 Conformal predictions w/ {marginaleffects}

Thoughts: Sometimes you need a range of likely future values. To get an assumption-free Prediction Interval, use conformal methods.

Thoughts: Do you prefer Estimated Marginal Means or Average Predictions? Care to report an Average Counterfactual Adjusted Prediction or an AME? Here are some options:

#statstab #205 Equivalence Tests Using {marginaleffects}

Thoughts: Easily testing for "no effect" is important. Here's a tutorial by @carlislerainey using @VincentAB r pkg.

#statstab #202 Distribution regression in #R @vincentab

Thoughts: "distribution regression...allows us to measure the association b/w the predictor of interest and the outcome at different quantiles of the outcome"

@stephenjwild #rstats #marginaleffects we have a sort-of answer. I now have R 4.2.2 and the latest marginaleffects on my laptop, and it is behaving as advertised (as on the website). I am also able to get the old-style output (more or less) by wrapping the predictions call in cbind() (don't know why). On my desktop, with the same newest R and newest marginaleffects, it comes out the old way. Haven't figured that out yet.
#rstats #marginaleffects my students are doing an assignment using predictions() and they are getting something different from me (and I think mine is odd). To start with what's on https://vincentarelbundock.github.io/marginaleffects/articles/marginaleffects.html, the predictions look like this: (continues)
