我在设置先验对比时遇到麻烦,想寻求帮助。以下代码应与因子水平“d”给出两个正交的对比。

Response <- c(1,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,4,6,5,5,5,5,5,5,4,6,5,5,5,5,5,5)
A <- factor(c(rep("c",8),rep("d",8),rep("h",8)))
contrasts(A) <- cbind("d vs h"=c(0,1,-1),"d vs c"=c(-1,1,0))
summary.lm(aov(Response~A))

我得到的是:
Call:
aov(formula = Response ~ A)

Residuals:
   Min         1Q     Median         3Q        Max
-1.000e+00 -3.136e-16 -8.281e-18 -8.281e-18  1.000e+00

Coefficients:

Multiple R-squared: 0.8889,     Adjusted R-squared: 0.8783
F-statistic:    84 on 2 and 21 DF,  p-value: 9.56e-11

但是我希望(截距)的估计值为5.00,因为它应该等于水平d,对不对?另外其他估计看起来也很奇怪...

我知道我可以使用relevel(A,ref =“d”)(在正确显示它们的地方)更容易地获得正确的值,但是我有兴趣学习正确的公式来检验自己的假设。如果我使用下面的代码(从网站)运行类似的示例,则可以按预期工作:
irrigation<-factor(c(rep("Control",10),rep("Irrigated 10mm",10),rep("Irrigated20mm",10)))
biomass<-1:30
contrastmatrix<-cbind("10 vs 20"=c(0,1,-1),"c vs 10"=c(-1,1,0))
contrasts(irrigation)<-contrastmatrix
summary.lm(aov(biomass~irrigation))


Call:
aov(formula = biomass ~ irrigation)

Residuals:
       Min         1Q     Median         3Q        Max
-4.500e+00 -2.500e+00  3.608e-16  2.500e+00  4.500e+00

我真的很感谢对此的一些解释。

最佳答案

我认为问题出在对contrasts的理解上(您可以对?contrasts进行详细了解)。让我详细解释一下:

如果您使用factor的默认方式A

A <- factor(c(rep("c",8),rep("d",8),rep("h",8)))
> contrasts(A)
  d h
c 0 0
d 1 0
h 0 1

因此lm模型给你
Mean(Response) = Intercept + beta_1 * I(d = 1) + beta_2 * I(h = 1)

summary.lm(aov(Response~A))
Coefficients:
    Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)    2.000      0.189    10.6  7.1e-10 ***
Ad             3.000      0.267    11.2  2.5e-10 ***
Ah             3.000      0.267    11.2  2.5e-10 ***

因此,对于组c,均值只是拦截2,对于组d,均值是2 + 3 = 5,与组h相同。

如果使用自己的对比度怎么办:
contrasts(A) <- cbind("d vs h"=c(0,1,-1),"d vs c"=c(-1,1,0))

A
[1] c c c c c c c c d d d d d d d d h h h h h h h h
attr(,"contrasts")
    d vs h d vs c
c      0     -1
d      1      1
h     -1      0

您适合的模型是
Mean(Response) = Intercept + beta_1 * (I(d = 1) - I(h = 1)) + beta_2 * (I(d = 1) - I(c = 1))
     = Intercept + (beta_1 + beta_2) * I(d = 1) - beta_2 * I(c = 1) - beta_1 * I(h = 1)

Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)    4.000      0.109   36.66  < 2e-16 ***
Ad vs h       -1.000      0.154   -6.48  2.0e-06 ***
Ad vs c        2.000      0.154   12.96  1.7e-11 ***

因此,对于c组,平均值为4 - 2 = 2,对于d组,平均值为4 - 1 + 2 = 5,对于h组,平均值为4 - (-1) = 5

=========================

更新:

进行对比的最简单方法是将基本(参考)级别设置为d
contrasts(A) <- contr.treatment(3, base = 2)
Coefficients:
             Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)  5.00e+00   1.89e-01    26.5  < 2e-16 ***
A1          -3.00e+00   2.67e-01   -11.2  2.5e-10 ***
A3          -4.86e-17   2.67e-01     0.0        1

如果要使用对比度:
Response <- c(1,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,4,6,5,5,5,5,5,5,4,6,5,5,5,5,5,5)
A <- factor(c(rep("c",8),rep("d",8),rep("h",8)))
mat<- cbind(rep(1/3, 3), "d vs h"=c(0,1,-1),"d vs c"=c(-1,1,0))
mymat <- solve(t(mat))
my.contrast <- mymat[,2:3]
contrasts(A) <- my.contrast
summary.lm(aov(Response~A))

Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 4.00e+00   1.09e-01    36.7  < 2e-16 ***
Ad vs h     7.69e-16   2.67e-01     0.0        1
Ad vs c     3.00e+00   2.67e-01    11.2  2.5e-10 ***
