Report Identifiable VCMoE Gating Contrasts — vcmoe_gating

Report identifiable gating contrasts.

Usage

vcmoe_gating_contrasts(object, baseline = NULL, scaled = FALSE)

Arguments

object: A vcmoe object.
baseline: Component used as the contrast baseline. By default, k = 2 uses component 2 and k > 2 uses component 1.
scaled: If TRUE, slope contrasts are converted to the scaled local-linear basis (u - u0) / h.

Value

A data frame with one row per grid point, contrast, term, and block.

Details

VCMoE stores gating coefficients as centered logits, so the absolute level of all component logits is not identifiable. Interpretable gating effects are component contrasts such as component 1 versus component 2 for k = 2, or component 1 and component 2 versus component 3 for k = 3 comparisons when baseline = 3.
