DPIT residuals for regression models with various non-continuous outcomes

Description

Calculates DPIT residuals for regression models with non-continuous outcomes. In particular, model assumptions for GLMs with discrete outcomes (e.g., binary, Poisson, and negative binomial), ordinal regression models, zero-inflated regression models, and semicontinuous outcome models can be assessed using dpit().

Usage

dpit(model)

Arguments

Details

This function deploys the appropriate computation based on the class of model. The supported model objects and outcome types are listed below.

In addition to the class-based interface, the package also provides distribution-specific DPIT residual calculators. If a fitted model comes from a different class but has a supported outcome distribution, users can call the corresponding distribution-based function directly. For instance, for a regression model with Poisson outcomes, one can use dpit to calculate the residuals if the model is fit using glm function, or to use dpit_pois upon supplying fitted mean values.

• Discrete outcomes

  • glm with family = binomial() (see dpit_bin).

  • glm with family = poisson() (see dpit_pois).

  • glm.nb for negative binomial regression (see dpit_nb).

  • polr for ordinal outcomes (see dpit_ordi).

• Zero-inflated discrete outcomes

  • zeroinfl with dist = "poisson" (see dpit_zpois).

  • zeroinfl with dist = "negbin" (see dpit_znb).

• Semicontinuous outcomes

  • Tobit regression via tobit from AER or vglm from VGAM (see dpit_tobit).

  • Tweedie regression via glm with a Tweedie family (see dpit_tweedie).

Formulation for Discrete and Zero-Inflated Outcomes:
The DPIT residual for the ith observation is defined as follows:

\hat{r}(Y_i|X_i) = \hat{G}\bigg(\hat{F}_M(Y_i|\mathbf{X}_i)\bigg)

where

\hat{G}(s) = \frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{j=1, j \neq i}^{n}\hat{F}_M\bigg(\hat{F}_M^{(-1)}(\mathbf{X}_j)\bigg|\mathbf{X}_j\bigg)

and \hat{F}_M refers to the fitted cumulative distribution function. The scale argument is supplied to residuals(), summary(), or plot(), methods for further displaying basic object information, extracting residuals, summarizing residuals, and producing a QQ-plot, respectively. When scale="uniform", DPIT residuals should closely follow a uniform distribution, otherwise it implies model deficiency. When scale="normal", it applies the normal quantile transformation to the DPIT residuals

\Phi^{-1}\left[\hat{r}(Y_i|\mathbf{X}_i)\right],i=1,\ldots,n.

The null pattern is the standard normal distribution in this case.

Formulation for Semicontinuous Outcomes:
The DPIT residuals for regression models with semicontinuous outcomes are

\hat{r}_i=\frac{\hat{F}_M(Y_i|\mathbf{X}_i)}{n}\sum_{j=1}^n1\left(\hat{p}_0(\mathbf{X}_j)\leq \hat{F}_M(Y_i|\mathbf{X}_i)\right), i=1,\ldots,n,

where \hat{p}_0(\mathbf{X}_i) is the fitted probability of zero, and \hat{F}_M(\cdot|\mathbf{X}_i) is the fitted cumulative distribution function for the ith observation. Furthermore,

\hat{F}_M(y|\mathbf{x})=\hat{p}_0(\mathbf{x})+\left(1-\hat{p}_0(\mathbf{x})\right)\hat{G}_M(y|\mathbf{x})

where \hat{G}_M is the fitted cumulative distribution for the positive data.

Value

A dpit object containing DPIT residuals.

Methods for DPIT residual objects

Description

Methods for printing, summarizing, plotting, and extracting values from objects returned by dpit(), dpit_2pm(), and the distribution-specific DPIT calculators. The print method displays the fitted model call or calls, when available, and the sample size. The summary method reports quantiles, mean, and standard deviation for the selected scale. The residuals method extracts the DPIT residuals, and the plot method constructs a QQ plot of the DPIT residuals against its reference distribution.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'dpit'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'dpit'
residuals(object, scale = c("normal", "uniform"), ...)

## S3 method for class 'dpit'
summary(object, scale = c("normal", "uniform"), ...)

## S3 method for class 'summary.dpit'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'dpit'
plot(x, scale = c("normal", "uniform"), line_args = list(), ...)

Arguments

Value

residuals.dpit() returns a numeric vector of DPIT residuals. summary.dpit() returns an object of class summary.dpit. The print and plot methods return their input invisibly.

Residuals for regression models with two-part outcomes

Description

Calculates DPIT residuals with model for two-part models with semicontinuous outcomes. For each component, dpit_2pm accepts either a fitted model or supplied probability integral transforms: exactly one of model0 and part0, and exactly one of model1 and part1.

Usage

dpit_2pm(model0, model1, y, part0, part1)

Arguments

Details

For formulation details on semicontinuous outcomes, see dpit.

In two-part models, the probability of zero can be modeled using a logistic regression, model0, while the positive observations can be modeled using a gamma regression, model1. Users can choose to use different models and supply the resulting probabilities of zero and probability integral transforms. part0 should be the sequence of fitted probabilities of zeros \hat{p}_0(\mathbf{X}_i) ,~i=1,\ldots,n. part1 should be the probability integral transform of the positive part \hat{G}(Y_i|\mathbf{X}_i). Note that the length of part1 is the number of positive values in y and can be shorter than part0. Exactly one of model0 and part0, and exactly one of model1 and part1, must be supplied. Model and probability inputs may be mixed. Use residuals(), summary(), and plot() on the returned object to select the residual scale, summarize the values, and draw the QQ plot.

Value

A dpit object containing DPIT residuals.

Goodness-of-fit test for discrete outcome regression models

Description

Goodness-of-fit test for discrete-outcome regression models. Works with GLMs (Poisson, binomial, negative binomial), ordinal outcome regression (MASS::polr), and zero-inflated regressions (zero-inflated Poisson and negative binomial fit via pscl::zeroinfl()).

Usage

gof_disc(model, B=1e2, seed=NULL)

Arguments

Details

Let (Y_i,\mathbf{X}_i),\ i=1,\ldots,n denote independent observations, and let \hat F_M(\cdot \mid \mathbf{X}_i) be the fitted model-based CDF. It was shown in Yang et al. (2026) that under the correctly specified model,

\hat{H}(u) = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \hat{h}(u, Y_i, \mathbf{X}_i)

should be close to the identity function, where

\hat{h}(u, y, \mathbf{x}) = \frac{u - \hat{F}_M (y-1 \mid \mathbf{x})} {\hat{F}_M (y \mid \mathbf{x}) - \hat{F}_M (y-1 \mid \mathbf{x})} \,\mathbf{1}\{ \hat{F}_M (y-1 \mid \mathbf{x}) < u < \hat{F}_M (y \mid \mathbf{x}) \} + \mathbf{1}\{ u \ge \hat{F}_M (y \mid \mathbf{x}) \}.

The test statistic

S_n = \int_0^1 \{ \hat{H}(u) - u \}^2 du

measures the deviation of \hat{h}(u,y,\mathbf{x}) from the identity function, with p-values obtained by bootstrap. This method complements residual-based diagnostics by providing a formal check of model adequacy.

Value

An object of class "htest" containing the test statistic (S), the number of bootstrap samples (B), the p-value, the method description, and the model call.

Ordered curve for assessing mean structures

Description

Creates a plot to assess the mean structure of regression models. The plot compares the cumulative sum of the response variable and its hypothesized value. Deviation from the diagonal suggests the possibility that the mean structure of the model is incorrect.

Usage

ord_curve(model, thr, line_args=list(), ...)

Arguments

Details

The ordered curve plots

\hat{L}_1(t)=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n\left[Y_i1(Z_i\leq t)\right]}{\sum_{i=1}^nY_i}

against

\hat{L}_2(t)=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n\left[\hat{\lambda}_i1(Z_i\leq t)\right]}{\sum_{i=1}^n\hat{\lambda}_i},

where \hat{\lambda}_i is the fitted mean, and Z_i is the threshold variable.

If the mean structure is correctly specified in the model, \hat L_1(t) and \hat L_2(t) should be close to each other.

If the curve is distant from the diagonal, it suggests incorrectness in the mean structure. Moreover, if the curve is above the diagonal, the summation of the response is larger than the fitted mean, which implies that the mean is underestimated, and vice versa.

The role of thr (threshold variable Z) is to determine the rule for accumulating \hat{\lambda}_i and Y_i, i=1,\ldots,n for the ordered curve. The candidate for thr could be any function of predictors such as a single predictor (e.g., x1), a linear combination of predictor (e.g., x1+x2), or fitted values (e.g., fitted(model)). It can also be a variable being considered to be included in the mean function. If a variable leads to a large discrepancy between the ordered curve and the diagonal, including this variable in the mean function should be considered.

For more details, see the reference paper.

Value

Invisibly returns NULL. The plotted axes are

• x-axis: \hat L_2(t)

• y-axis: \hat L_1(t)

which are defined in Details.

Quasi empirical residuals functions

Description

Draw the quasi-empirical residual distribution functions for regression models with discrete outcomes. Specifically, the model assumption of GLMs with binary, ordinal, Poisson, negative binomial, zero-inflated Poisson, and zero-inflated negative binomial outcomes can be assessed using quasi_plot(). A plot far apart from the diagonal indicates lack of fit.

Usage

quasi_plot(model, line_args=list(), ...)

Arguments

Details

The quasi-empirical residual distribution function is defined as follows:

\hat{U}(s; \beta) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} W_{n}(s;\mathbf{X}_{i},\beta) 1[F(Y_{i}| X_{i}) < H(s;X_{i})]

where

W_n(s; \mathbf{X}_i, \beta) = \frac{K[(H(s; \mathbf{X}_i)-s)/ \epsilon_n]}{\sum_{j=1}^{n} K[(H(s; \mathbf{X}_j)-s)/ \epsilon_n]},

\epsilon_n is the bandwidth selected suing cross validation; H(s, X_i) = \mathrm{argmin}_{F(k \mid X_i)} |F(k \mid X_i) - s|, F is the CDF and K is a bounded, symmetric, and Lipschitz continuous kernel.

Value

Invisibly returns NULL. The function is called for its side effect of plotting the quasi-empirical residual distribution function \hat{U}(s;\beta) against s.
