Global options from the parameters package

Global options to set defaults for function arguments

The verbose argument can be used to display or silence messages and warnings for the different functions in the parameters package. However, some messages providing additional information can be displayed or suppressed using options():

  • options(parameters_info = TRUE) will override the include_info argument in model_parameters() and always show the model summary for non-mixed models.

  • options(parameters_mixed_info = TRUE) will override the include_info argument in model_parameters() for mixed models, and will then always show the model summary.

  • options(parameters_cimethod = TRUE) will show the additional information about the approximation method used to calculate confidence intervals and p-values. Set to FALSE to hide this message when printing model_parameters() objects.

  • options(parameters_exponentiate = TRUE) will show the additional information on how to interpret coefficients of models with log-transformed response variables or with log-/logit-links when the exponentiate argument in model_parameters() is not TRUE. Set this option to FALSE to hide this message when printing model_parameters() objects.

There are further options that can be used to modify the default behaviour for printed outputs:

  • options(parameters_labels = TRUE) will use variable and value labels for pretty names, if data is labelled. If no labels available, default pretty names are used.

  • options(parameters_interaction = <character>) will replace the interaction mark (by default, *) with the related character.

  • options(parameters_select = <value>) will set the default for the select argument. See argument's documentation for available options.

  • options(easystats_table_width = <value>) will set the default width for tables in text-format, i.e. for most of the outputs printed to console. If not specified, tables will be adjusted to the current available width, e.g. of the of the console (or any other source for textual output, like markdown files). The argument table_width can also be used in most print() methods to specify the table width as desired.

  • options(insight_use_symbols = TRUE) will try to print unicode-chars for symbols as column names, wherever possible (e.g., ω instead of Omega).

  • options(easystats_display_format = <value>) will set the default format for the display() methods. Can be one of "markdown", "html", or "tt". See display.parameters_model() for details.
