Fit a natural effect model — ds.neModel • dsMediationClient

This function is similar to R function neModel from the medflex package.

ds.neModel(
  formula = NULL,
  family = NULL,
  expData = NULL,
  se = "robust",
  nBoot = 1000,
  newobj = NULL,
  datasources = NULL
)

Arguments

formula: a formula object providing a symbolic description of the natural effect model.
family: a description of the error distribution and link function to be used in the model. For glm this can be a character string naming a family function, a family function or the result of a call to a family function. For glm.fit only the third option is supported.
expData: the expanded dataset (of class "expData").
se: character string indicating the type of standard errors to be calculated. By default robust se are calculated. NOTE: In version 1.0.0 the "bootstrap" method does not work properly
nBoot: number of bootstrap replicates.
newobj: a character string that provides the name for the output object that is stored on the data servers. Default neModel.out.
datasources: a list of DSConnection-class objects obtained after login. If the datasources argument is not specified the default set of connections will be used: see datashield.connections_default.

Value

a summary table of the object of class 'neModel'.

Details

The function ds.neModel is used to fit a natural effect model on the expanded dataset. For more details see the help file of the neModel function in the medflex package.
