Standardize column names — standardize

Standardize column names from data frames, in particular objects returned from model_parameters(), so column names are consistent and the same for any model object.

standardize_names(data, ...)

# S3 method for parameters_model
standardize_names(
  data,
  style = c("easystats", "broom"),
  ignore_estimate = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

data	A data frame. In particular, objects from easystats package functions like `model_parameters()` or `effectsize()` are accepted, but also data frames returned by `broom::tidy()` are valid objects.
...	Currently not used.
style	Standardization can either be based on the naming conventions from the easystats-project, or on broom's naming scheme.
ignore_estimate	Logical, if `TRUE`, column names like `"mean"` or `"median"` will not be converted to `"Coefficient"` resp. `"estimate"`.

Value

A data frame, with standardized column names.

Details

This method is in particular useful for package developers or users who use, e.g., model_parameters() in their own code or functions to retrieve model parameters for further processing. As model_parameters() returns a data frame with varying column names (depending on the input), accessing the required information is probably not quite straightforward. In such cases, standardize_names() can be used to get consistent, i.e. always the same column names, no matter what kind of model was used in model_parameters().

For style = "broom", column names are renamed to match broom's naming scheme, i.e. Parameter is renamed to term, Coefficient becomes estimate and so on.

For style = "easystats", when data is an object from broom::tidy(), column names are converted from "broom"-style into "easystats"-style.

Examples

if (require("parameters")) {
  model <- lm(mpg ~ wt + cyl, data = mtcars)
  mp <- model_parameters(model)

  as.data.frame(mp)
  standardize_names(mp)
  standardize_names(mp, style = "broom")
