如何在 polr 有序 logit 模型的截距上测试 linearHypothesis？

Question

我想测试有序 logit 模型中截距的显着差异。

library(MASS)

house.plr <- polr(Sat ~ Infl + Type + Cont, weights = Freq, data = housing)
summary(house.plr)$coefficients
#           Value Std. Error   t value
# Infl -0.3907221 0.05856668 -6.671406
# Type  0.5654170 0.04921585 11.488515
# Cont  0.0998870 0.09008336  1.108829
# 1|2  -0.6937440 0.20773639 -3.339540
# 2|3   0.7906212 0.20701136  3.819216
# 3|4   2.0574730 0.21396779  9.615807

系数的假设检验工作正常（相关方法是car:::linearHypothesis.polr）。

library(car)
linearHypothesis(house.plr, hypothesis.matrix="Infl + Type + Cont")$`Pr(>Chisq)`[2]
# [1] 0.01679297

然而，测试截距不起作用，即使截距包含在 vcov.

中

signif(vcov(house.plr), 3)
#           Infl      Type      Cont     1|2     2|3     3|4
# Infl  0.003430 -0.000269  0.000320 0.00666 0.00623 0.00595
# Type -0.000269  0.002420 -0.000442 0.00365 0.00410 0.00464
# Cont  0.000320 -0.000442  0.008120 0.01240 0.01250 0.01260
# 1|2   0.006660  0.003650  0.012400 0.04320 0.04130 0.04140
# 2|3   0.006230  0.004100  0.012500 0.04130 0.04290 0.04270
# 3|4   0.005950  0.004640  0.012600 0.04140 0.04270 0.04580

失败次数：

linearHypothesis(house.plr, "(1|2 - 2|3) + (2|3 - 3|4) = 0")
linearHypothesis(house.plr, "1|2")

或者，由于文档建议添加 vcov:

The default method will work with any model object for which the coefficient vector can be retrieved by coef and the coefficient-covariance matrix by vcov (otherwise the argument vcov. has to be set explicitly).

linearHypothesis(house.plr, "1|2", vcov.=vcov(house.plr))

全部屈服：

Error in constants(lhs, cnames_symb) : 
  The hypothesis "1|2" is not well formed: contains bad coefficient/variable names.
In addition: Warning message:
In constants(lhs, cnames_symb) : NAs introduced by coercion

我注意到系数和截距存储在不同的对象中，但这对我也没有太大帮助。

house.plr$coefficients
#       Infl       Type       Cont 
# -0.3907221  0.5654170  0.0998870 

house.plr$zeta
#        1|2        2|3        3|4 
# -0.6937440  0.7906212  2.0574730

如何正确定义 car::linearHypothesis 中的 hypothesis.matrix= 来测试截距？

或者，有人已经从头开始做过吗？

预期结果是（来自 Stata）：

 ( 1)  [cut1]_cons - 2*[cut2]_cons + [cut3]_cons = 0

           chi2(  1) =    6.53
         Prob > chi2 =    0.0106

数据：

data(housing, package="MASS")
housing$Sat <- as.factor(1:4)
housing[2:5] <- lapply(housing[2:5], as.integer)

Answer 1

我们可以使用 car::linearHypothesis.default 来检验关于 "polr" 对象截距的假设。该方法有一个参数 coef.=，我们可以用组合的 coefficients 和 zetas 提供给我们与已经正确存在的 vcov 的对应关系。 hypothesis.matrix=我们定义为矩阵。

coef.ext <- with(house.plr, c(coefficients, zeta))

M <- matrix(c(0, 0, 0, 1, -2, 1), nrow=1, 
            dimnames=list('1|2 - 2*(2|3) + 3|4 = 0', names(coef.ext)))

car::linearHypothesis.default(house.plr, hypothesis.matrix=M, coef.=coef.ext)
# Re-fitting to get Hessian
# 
# Linear hypothesis test
# 
# Hypothesis:
# 1|2 - 2 2|3  + 3|4 = 0
# 
# Model 1: restricted model
# Model 2: Sat ~ Infl + Type + Cont
# 
#   Res.Df Df  Chisq Pr(>Chisq)  
# 1   1676                       
# 2   1675  1 6.5269    0.01063 *
