Print an 'indirect_proportion'-Class Object

Source: R/indirect_proportion.R
print.indirect_proportion.Rd

Print the content of an 'indirect_proportion'-class object, the output of indirect_proportion().

Usage

# S3 method for indirect_proportion
print(x, digits = 3, annotation = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

An 'indirect_proportion'-class object.

digits

Number of digits to display. Default is 3.

annotation

Logical. Whether additional information should be printed. Default is TRUE.

...

Optional arguments. Not used.

Value

x is returned invisibly. Called for its side effect.

Details

The print method of the indirect_proportion-class object, which is produced by indirect_proportion(). In addition to the proportion of effect mediated, it also prints additional information such as the path for which the proportion is computed, and all indirect path(s) from the x-variable to the y-variable.

To get the proportion as a scalar, use the coef method of indirect_proportion objects.
