Overview

About

Maintained by Michael FriendlyCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides additional data sets, methods and documentation to complement the 'vcd' package for Visualizing Categorical Data and the 'gnm' package for Generalized Nonlinear Models. In particular, 'vcdExtra' extends mosaic, assoc and sieve plots from 'vcd' to handle 'glm()' and 'gnm()' models and adds a 3D version in 'mosaic3d'. Additionally, methods are provided for comparing and visualizing lists of 'glm' and 'loglm' objects. This package is now a support package for the book Friendly, M. and Meyer, D. (2016, ISBN:978-1-4987-2583-5) 'Discrete Data Analysis with R: Visualization and Modeling Techniques for Categorical and Count Data'. Recent work adds colorized tables of frequencies to highlight patterns of association, association graphs to visualize conditional independence and a variety of new or improved statistical tests for categorical data analysis.

Changes in 0.9.8

This is a significant release, with a number of new features, notably plotting

logistic regression models with display of marginal distributions of x,

and term-level tests for loglinear models.

Summarise() is now formally deprecated (.Deprecated("LRstats")), in favor of LRstats(), which provides the same brief model-fit comparison. Summarise()'s capitalized name reads as an easy-to-mistype near-collision with dplyr::summarise(), which vcdExtra also imports internally; LRstats() has been the recommended replacement since 0.6-5 but was never actually wired up to warn. See ?vcdExtra-deprecated.
Added logist_plot() for plotting a glm(y ~ x, family = binomial) fit for a single quantitative predictor together with a representation of the marginal distribution of x within each response group -- mirrored histograms, filled density estimates, or jittered points -- as suggested by Smart et al. (2004). Supports vector, data frame, and formula calling conventions; an optional group= for grouped fits and marginals with per-group colours; and fit.args=/marginal.args=/marginal.height= for layer-level customization beyond the fit.color=/marginal.color= convenience arguments. logist_hist(), logist_point(), and logist_density() are convenience wrappers with marginal= fixed to "hist"/"points"/"density". Work by Gavin Klorfine.

Fixed bug in CMHtest3() (the internal overall = TRUE helper) which suppressed Df and Prob (p-value) for the overall population results whenever types was not the full default set of four (#2, reported by @bill-raynor and @imazubi; fix by @danielinteractive in #26).
Added drop1.loglm(), LRanova(), and assoc_strength() for term-level analysis of loglm models. drop1.loglm() (registered as an S3 method for stats::drop1(), and also directly callable by name) performs single-term deletion tests for a model's generating class, refitting via update() and reporting both LR (G^2) and Pearson (X^2) statistics per term.
LRanova() wraps it with a partial R^2 effect-size column relative to a (nesting-checked) baseline model.
assoc_strength() wraps it with a partial Cramer's V / Cohen's w effect-size column, generalized to terms of any order. The fitted models underlying each test are attached as a loglmlist (attr(., "models")), reusable directly with mosaic(), LRstats(), and get_models() without refitting.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("vcdExtra", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("friendly/vcdExtra")

Development version from friendly/vcdExtra. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-vcdextra

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-vcdExtra

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-vcdExtra

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
