Rename terms using partial string matching
Renaming (and filtering out) coefficients in plot_summs()
and export_summs()
is already straightforward, but it could be made less cumbersome through partial string matching. Consider your example from the plot_summs
documentation
plot_summs(fit1, fit2, fit3,
coefs = c("Frost Days" = "Frost", "% Illiterate" = "Illiteracy",
"Murder Rate" = "Murder"),
scale = TRUE, robust = TRUE)
Supposed now the model contained Frost * Murder
. I would have to type in "Frost Days x Murder Rate" = "Frost:Murder"
for the interaction. Ideally, though, plot_summs
would recognize that if I wanted to remane Frost
and Murder
then I would also want to rename the interaction the same way. This issue also applies to export_summs
.
(one complication is that interaction terms often require a linebreak after the x
symbol in order to comfortably fit in a plot without blowing up the labeling area)
Aside from interactions, partial string matching would be a useful feature in the event that I simply had a lot of variables I wanted in include with similar names. If my data contained region_north
, region_west,
region_south, and
region_east, it would be great if I could type
coef = "region"to catch them all. A complementary
drop_coefs argument` would help as well.
All of this is inspired by the new fixest
package's etable
function which makes including, excluding, and renaming very easy. See the keep
, drop
, order
and dict
arguments: https://lrberge.github.io/fixest/reference/etable.html
