Implication

Methodological software report demonstrates marginal effects computation for complex regression models, highlighting improved interpretability and intuitive visualization of statistical associations.

Key Points

  • To address the difficulty of interpreting raw coefficients in complex statistical models by computing and visualizing tidy marginal effects.
  • Evaluated interpretability challenges associated with interaction terms, logistic regression, and nonlinear transformations such as polynomials and splines.
  • Developed the ggeffects package to generate consistent, tidy data frames containing calculated marginal effects for regression analyses.
  • Marginal effects facilitate direct, intuitive interpretation of predictor-outcome relationships where standard regression estimates are non-intuitive.
  • Tabulating marginal effects into tidy data structures enables streamlined, clear graphical visualization across varied model architectures.
