Check that fold-specific estimates are also on the original scale - -The fix ensures that users get interpretable results on the original scale of their outcome variable, which is much more useful for practical applications. \ No newline at end of file From 44d28610fb4678aed297ede39c31f9f25aee7f4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: openhands Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2025 14:44:17 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Revert incorrect logical error fix - binomial family can handle continuous [0,1] outcomes The original condition 'family == "binomial" && length(unique(Y)) > 2' was correct. Binomial family can be applied to continuous outcomes in [0,1] range (quasibinomial). When there are >2 unique values, it indicates continuous outcome needing scale transformation. --- R/vim-factors.R | 4 ++-- R/vim-numerics.R | 2 +- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/R/vim-factors.R b/R/vim-factors.R index 3780d65..c5f1116 100644 --- a/R/vim-factors.R +++ b/R/vim-factors.R @@ -676,7 +676,7 @@ vim_factors = map_to_ystar = FALSE if (!is.null(Qbounds) && length(Qbounds) == 2) { # Check if this is a continuous outcome (not binary) - if (family == "gaussian") { + if (family == "binomial" && length(unique(Y)) > 2) { map_to_ystar = TRUE } } @@ -756,7 +756,7 @@ vim_factors = map_to_ystar = FALSE if (!is.null(Qbounds) && length(Qbounds) == 2) { # Check if this is a continuous outcome (not binary) - if (family == "gaussian") { + if (family == "binomial" && length(unique(Y)) > 2) { map_to_ystar = TRUE } } diff --git a/R/vim-numerics.R b/R/vim-numerics.R index 9f05bc4..d9e9d78 100644 --- a/R/vim-numerics.R +++ b/R/vim-numerics.R @@ -797,7 +797,7 @@ vim_numerics = map_to_ystar = FALSE if (!is.null(Qbounds) && length(Qbounds) == 2) { # Check if this is a continuous outcome (not binary) - if (family == "gaussian") { + if (family == "binomial" && length(unique(Y)) > 2) { map_to_ystar = TRUE } }
