Solved – n easy way to combine two glm models in R

by

I have two logistic regression models in R made with glm(). They both use the same variables, but were made using different subsets of a matrix. Is there an easy way to get an average model which gives the means of the coefficients and then use this with the predict() function?

[ sorry if this type of question should be posted on a programming site let me know and I'll post it there ]

Thanks

Do you want to take the average of the predicted probabilities, or the average of the coefficients? They will give different results, because a logistic regression involves a nonlinear transform of the linear predictor.

A function to do either would be something like this. Set avg to "prob" to get the former, or something else for the latter.

pred_comb <- function(mod1, mod2, dat, avg="prob", ...) {     xb1 <- predict(mod1, dat, type="link", ...)     xb2 <- predict(mod2, dat, type="link", ...)     if(avg == "prob")         (plogis(xb1) + plogis(xb2))/2     else plogis((xb1 + xb2)/2) }
