How R's effect() Function Transforms Continuous Variables into Categorical Variables for Binary Response Models.
I can help you with that. The first question is about how the effect() function from the effects package transforms a continuous variable into a categorical variable. The effect() function uses the nice() function to transform the values of a continuous variable into bins or categories, which are then used as levels for the factor. Here’s an example: library(effects) set.seed(123) x = rnorm(100) z = rexp(100) y = factor(sample(1:2, 100, replace=T)) test = glm(y~x+z+x*z, family = binomial(link = "probit")) preddat <- matrix('', 25, 100) preddat <- expand.
