Calculating odds-ratios

In the previous exercise, we saw how to compare the effects of a friend's recommendation on sales. However, regression outputs can be hard to describe and sometimes odds-ratios can be easier to use. Using the outputs from the previous exercise, we're going to calculate odds-ratios.

Refresher on odds-ratios:

If an odds-ratio is 1.0, then both events have an equal chance of occurring. For example, if the odds-ratio for a friend's recommendation was 1.0, then a friend would have no influence on a purchase decision.
If an odds-ratio is less than 1, then a friend's recommendation would decrease the chance of a purchase occurring. For example, an odds-ratio of 0.5 would mean a friend's recommendation has odds of 1:2 or 1 purchase occurring for every 2 passes.
If an odds-ratio is greater than 1, then a friend's recommendation would increase the chance of a purchase occurring. For example, an odds-ratio of 3.0 would mean a friend's recommendation has odds of 3:1 or 3 purchases occurring for every 1 passes.

Note on course code: Since this course launched, the broom package has dropped support for lme4::lmer() models. If you try to repeat this on your own, you will need the broom.mixed package, which is on cran.

Hierarchical and Mixed Effects Models in R

Anleitung zur Übung

Look at the summary() of model_out.
Extract the coefficients from model_out with fixef() and then convert to an odds-ratio by taking exponential. Repeat with confint() to get the confidence intervals.
Calculate the confidence intervals and then exponentiate the effect of friends on a purchase using tidy(). Make sure to set the conf.int and exponentiate parameters.

The first chapter provides an example of when to use a mixed-effect and also describes the parts of a regression. The chapter also examines a student test-score dataset with a nested structure to demonstrate mixed-effects.

This chapter providers an introduction to linear mixed-effects models. It covers different types of random-effects, describes how to understand the results for linear mixed-effects models, and goes over different methods for statistical inference with mixed-effects models using crime data from Maryland.

This chapter extends linear mixed-effects models to include non-normal error terms using generalized linear mixed-effects models. By altering the model to include a non-normal error term, you are able to model more kinds of data with non-linear responses. After reviewing generalized linear models, the chapter examines binomial data and count data in the context of mixed-effects models.

This chapter shows how repeated-measures analysis is a special case of mixed-effect modeling. The chapter begins by reviewing paired t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA. Next, the chapter uses a linear mixed-effect model to examine sleep study data. Lastly, the chapter uses a generalized linear mixed-effect model to examine hate crime data from New York state through time.
