Provides a comprehensive summary of a fitted AME (Additive and Multiplicative Effects) model, including parameter estimates, standard errors, confidence intervals, and model diagnostics.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'ame'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class "ame", typically the result of fitting an AME model using the ame function

...

additional parameters (currently not used)

Value

A list of class "summary.ame" containing:

call

The original function call

beta

Matrix of regression coefficient estimates and statistics

variance

Matrix of variance component estimates

Details

The summary includes:

Regression coefficients

Point estimates, standard errors, z-values, p-values, and 95% confidence intervals for dyadic, sender, and receiver covariates

Variance components

Estimates and standard errors for:

va

Variance of additive sender/row effects (asymmetric networks)

cab

Covariance between sender and receiver effects

vb

Variance of additive receiver/column effects (asymmetric networks)

rho

Dyadic correlation (reciprocity in directed networks)

ve

Residual variance

For symmetric networks, only va and ve are estimated.
