Dot-Whisker plot of coefficient estimates with confidence intervals. For more information, see the Details and Examples sections below, and the vignettes on the modelsummary website: https://vincentarelbundock.github.io/modelsummary/

## Usage

modelplot(
models,
conf_level = 0.95,
coef_map = NULL,
coef_omit = NULL,
coef_rename = NULL,
vcov = NULL,
exponentiate = FALSE,
facet = FALSE,
draw = TRUE,
background = NULL,
...
)

## Arguments

models

a model or (optionally named) list of models

conf_level

numeric value between 0 and 1. confidence level to use for confidence intervals. Setting this argument to NULL does not extract confidence intervals, which can be faster for some models.

coef_map

character vector. Subset, rename, and reorder coefficients. Coefficients omitted from this vector are omitted from the table. The order of the vector determines the order of the table. coef_map can be a named or an unnamed character vector. If coef_map is a named vector, its values define the labels that must appear in the table, and its names identify the original term names stored in the model object: c("hp:mpg"="HPxM/G"). See Examples section below.

coef_omit

string regular expression (perl-compatible) used to determine which coefficients to omit from the table. A "negative lookahead" can be used to specify which coefficients to keep in the table. Examples:

• "ei": omit coefficients matching the "ei" substring.

• "^Volume\$": omit the "Volume" coefficient.

• "ei|rc": omit coefficients matching either the "ei" or the "rc" substrings.

• "^(?!Vol)": keep coefficients starting with "Vol" (inverse match using a negative lookahead).

• "^(?!.*ei)": keep coefficients matching the "ei" substring.

• "^(?!.*ei|.*pt)": keep coefficients matching either the "ei" or the "pt" substrings.

• See the Examples section below for complete code.

coef_rename

named character vector or function

• Named character vector: Values refer to the variable names that will appear in the table. Names refer to the original term names stored in the model object. Ex: c("hp:mpg"="hp X mpg")

• Function: Accepts a character vector of the model's term names and returns a named vector like the one described above. The modelsummary package supplies a coef_rename() function which can do common cleaning tasks: modelsummary(model, coef_rename = coef_rename)

vcov

robust standard errors and other manual statistics. The vcov argument accepts six types of input (see the 'Details' and 'Examples' sections below):

• NULL returns the default uncertainty estimates of the model object

• string, vector, or (named) list of strings. "iid", "classical", and "constant" are aliases for NULL, which returns the model's default uncertainty estimates. The strings "HC", "HC0", "HC1" (alias: "stata"), "HC2", "HC3" (alias: "robust"), "HC4", "HC4m", "HC5", "HAC", "NeweyWest", "Andrews", "panel-corrected", "outer-product", and "weave" use variance-covariance matrices computed using functions from the sandwich package, or equivalent method. The behavior of those functions can (and sometimes must) be altered by passing arguments to sandwich directly from modelsummary through the ellipsis (...), but it is safer to define your own custom functions as described in the next bullet.

• function or (named) list of functions which return variance-covariance matrices with row and column names equal to the names of your coefficient estimates (e.g., stats::vcov, sandwich::vcovHC, function(x) vcovPC(x, cluster="country")).

• formula or (named) list of formulas with the cluster variable(s) on the right-hand side (e.g., ~clusterid).

• named list of length(models) variance-covariance matrices with row and column names equal to the names of your coefficient estimates.

• a named list of length(models) vectors with names equal to the names of your coefficient estimates. See 'Examples' section below. Warning: since this list of vectors can include arbitrary strings or numbers, modelsummary cannot automatically calculate p values. The stars argument may thus use incorrect significance thresholds when vcov is a list of vectors.

exponentiate

TRUE, FALSE, or logical vector of length equal to the number of models. If TRUE, the estimate, conf.low, and conf.high statistics are exponentiated, and the std.error is transformed to exp(estimate)*std.error.

a data.frame (or tibble) with the same number of columns as your main table. By default, rows are appended to the bottom of the table. You can define a "position" attribute of integers to set the row positions. See Examples section below.

facet

TRUE or FALSE. When the 'models' argument includes several model objects, TRUE draws terms in separate facets, and FALSE draws terms side-by-side (dodged).

draw

TRUE returns a 'ggplot2' object, FALSE returns the data.frame used to draw the plot.

background

A list of 'ggplot2' geoms to add to the background of the plot. This is especially useful to display annotations "behind" the 'geom_pointrange' that 'modelplot' draws.

...

all other arguments are passed through to three functions. See the documentation of these functions for lists of available arguments.
