Extracting summary tables

The most common function used to view an overall summary of a model is the summary() function:

library(logitr)

model <- logitr(
  data    = yogurt,
  outcome = "choice",
  obsID   = "obsID",
  pars    = c("price", "feat", "brand")
)

summary(model)

The summary prints out a table of the model coefficients as well as other information about the model, such as the log-likelihood, the number of observations, etc.

You can extract the coefficient from the summary table as a data.frame using coef(summary(model)):

coefs <- coef(summary(model))
coefs
#>                Estimate Std. Error    z-value     Pr(>|z|)
#> price        -0.3665546 0.02436526 -15.044150 0.000000e+00
#> feat          0.4914392 0.12006175   4.093221 4.254226e-05
#> brandhiland  -3.7154773 0.14541671 -25.550553 0.000000e+00
#> brandweight  -0.6411384 0.05449794 -11.764450 0.000000e+00
#> brandyoplait  0.7345195 0.08064229   9.108366 0.000000e+00

The {broom} package

Another approach for extracting the model coefficients as a data frame is to use the tidy() function from the {broom} package:

library(broom)

coefs <- tidy(model)
coefs
#> # A tibble: 5 × 5
#>   term         estimate std.error statistic   p.value
#>   <chr>           <dbl>     <dbl>     <dbl>     <dbl>
#> 1 price          -0.367    0.0244    -15.0  0        
#> 2 feat            0.491    0.120       4.09 0.0000425
#> 3 brandhiland    -3.72     0.145     -25.6  0        
#> 4 brandweight    -0.641    0.0545    -11.8  0        
#> 5 brandyoplait    0.735    0.0806      9.11 0

The tidy() function returns a tibble and provides a more standardized output and interfaces well with other packages. You can also append a confidence interval to the data frame:

coefs <- tidy(model, conf.int = TRUE, conf.level = 0.95)
coefs
#> # A tibble: 5 × 7
#>   term         estimate std.error statistic   p.value conf.low conf.high
#>   <chr>           <dbl>     <dbl>     <dbl>     <dbl>    <dbl>     <dbl>
#> 1 brandhiland    -3.72     0.145     -25.6  0           -4.00     -3.43 
#> 2 brandweight    -0.641    0.0545    -11.8  0           -0.748    -0.534
#> 3 brandyoplait    0.735    0.0806      9.11 0            0.577     0.892
#> 4 feat            0.491    0.120       4.09 0.0000425    0.256     0.726
#> 5 price          -0.367    0.0244    -15.0  0           -0.415    -0.319

Extracting other values

You can also extract other values of interest at the solution, such as:

The estimated coefficients

coef(model)
#>        price         feat  brandhiland  brandweight brandyoplait 
#>   -0.3665546    0.4914392   -3.7154773   -0.6411384    0.7345195

The estimated standard errors

#>   0.02436526   0.12006175   0.14541671   0.05449794   0.08064229

The log-likelihood

logLik(model)
#> 'log Lik.' -2656.888 (df=5)

The variance-covariance matrix

vcov(model)
#>                      price          feat  brandhiland  brandweight
#> price         0.0005936657  5.729619e-04  0.001851795 1.249988e-04

#> brandhiland  -0.0036810363
#> brandweight   0.0007779427
#> brandyoplait  0.0065031782

You can also view a summary of statistics about the model using the glance() function from the {broom} package:

glance(model)
#> # A tibble: 1 × 7
#>   logLik null.logLik   AIC   BIC r.squared adj.r.squared  nobs
#>    <dbl>       <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>     <dbl>         <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 -2657.      -3344. 5324. 5353.     0.205         0.204  2412

Formatted summary tables

The {gtsummary} package

Often times you will need to create summary tables that are formatted for publication. The {gtsummary} package offers a convenient solution that works well with logitrmodels. For example, a formatted summary table can be obtained using the tbl_regression() function:

Characteristic Beta 95% CI1 p-value
brand


    dannon
    hiland -3.7 -4.0, -3.4
    weight -0.64 -0.75, -0.54
    yoplait 0.73 0.58, 0.89
feat 0.49 0.26, 0.73
price -0.37 -0.41, -0.32
1 CI = Confidence Interval

The tbl_regression() function has many options for customizing the output table. For example, you can change the coefficient names with the label argument:

model |> 
  tbl_regression(
    label = list(
        feat = "Newspaper ad shown?",
        brand = "Yogurt's brand"
    )
  )
Characteristic Beta 95% CI1 p-value
Yogurt's brand


    dannon
    hiland -3.7 -4.0, -3.4
    weight -0.64 -0.75, -0.53
    yoplait 0.73 0.58, 0.89
Newspaper ad shown? 0.49 0.26, 0.72
price -0.37 -0.41, -0.32
1 CI = Confidence Interval

The {gtsummary} package supports a wide variety of output types, including support for LaTeX. One you create the table with tbl_regression(), you can print it a variety of ways. For example, once you’ve created a table x,

x <- model |>
  tbl_regression()

you can print it to LaTeX with any of the following ways:

  • as_gt(x) |> gt::as_latex()
  • as_kable_extra(x, format = "latex")
  • as_hux_table(x) |> to_latex()
  • as_kable(x, format = "latex")

Multiple models can also be printed in the same table:

model1 <- model

model2 <- logitr(
  data    = yogurt,
  outcome = "choice",
  obsID   = "obsID",
  pars    = c("price*feat", "brand")
)

# Make individual tables
t1 <- tbl_regression(model1)
t2 <- tbl_regression(model2)

# Merge tables
tbl_merge(
  tbls = list(t1, t2),
  tab_spanner = c("**Baseline**", "**Interaction**")
)
Characteristic
Baseline
Interaction
Beta 95% CI1 p-value Beta 95% CI1 p-value
brand





    dannon

    hiland -3.7 -4.0, -3.4 -3.7 -4.0, -3.4
    weight -0.64 -0.75, -0.53 -0.64 -0.75, -0.54
    yoplait 0.73 0.57, 0.89 0.72 0.57, 0.88
feat 0.49 0.25, 0.73 1.2 0.42, 1.9 0.002
price -0.37 -0.41, -0.32 -0.36 -0.41, -0.31
price * feat


-0.09 -0.18, 0.01 0.068
1 CI = Confidence Interval

The {texreg} package

Another option for obtaining a formatted table is to use the {texreg} package. This is particularly useful for obtaining tables formatted for use in LaTeX.

For example, you can print a summary to the screen using screenreg():

library(texreg)

screenreg(model, stars = c(0.01, 0.05, 0.1))
#> 
#> ============================
#>                 Model 1     
#> ----------------------------
#> price              -0.37 ***
#>                    (0.02)   
#> feat                0.49 ***
#>                    (0.12)   
#> brandhiland        -3.72 ***
#>                    (0.15)   
#> brandweight        -0.64 ***
#>                    (0.05)   
#> brandyoplait        0.73 ***
#>                    (0.08)   
#> ----------------------------
#> Num. obs.        2412       
#> Log Likelihood  -2656.89    
#> AIC              5323.78    
#> BIC              5352.72    
#> ============================
#> *** p < 0.01; ** p < 0.05; * p < 0.1

Likewise, you can print the LaTeX code for a summary table using texreg()

library(texreg)

texreg(model, stars = c(0.01, 0.05, 0.1))
#> 
#> \begin{table}
#> \begin{center}
#> \begin{tabular}{l c}
#> \hline
#>  & Model 1 \\
#> \hline
#> price          & $-0.37^{***}$ \\
#>                & $(0.02)$      \\
#> feat           & $0.49^{***}$  \\
#>                & $(0.12)$      \\
#> brandhiland    & $-3.72^{***}$ \\
#>                & $(0.15)$      \\
#> brandweight    & $-0.64^{***}$ \\
#>                & $(0.05)$      \\
#> brandyoplait   & $0.73^{***}$  \\
#>                & $(0.08)$      \\
#> \hline
#> Num. obs.      & $2412$        \\
#> Log Likelihood & $-2656.89$    \\
#> AIC            & $5323.78$     \\
#> BIC            & $5352.72$     \\
#> \hline
#> \multicolumn{2}{l}{\scriptsize{$^{***}p<0.01$; $^{**}p<0.05$; $^{*}p<0.1$}}
#> \end{tabular}
#> \caption{Statistical models}
#> \label{table:coefficients}
#> \end{center}
#> \end{table}

Similar to {gtsummary}, multiple models can be printed using screenreg() or texreg():

model1 <- model

model2 <- logitr(
  data    = yogurt,
  outcome = "choice",
  obsID   = "obsID",
  pars    = c("price*feat", "brand")
)

screenreg(
  list(
    model1,
    model2
  ),
  stars = c(0.01, 0.05, 0.1),
  custom.model.names = c("Baseline", "Interaction")
)
#>
