1 - 5e-9, giving a condition
number near 4e8 and a platform-dependent rounding error
above the test’s tolerance. They now correlate at about
0.99995, which stays highly collinear and estimable with a
much smaller rounding error. calculate_rwa() is unchanged,
since the deviation was bounded floating-point error rather than a
calculation defect.1.1e-7 offset gave a condition number near
3e14 and left only about 7x headroom under the
1e-8 tolerance. It now uses a 1e-4 offset. The
assertions in both tests were strengthened, not relaxed: the predictor
correlation is pinned within (0.9999, 1), the raw relative
weights are asserted to sum to the returned R-squared, and
rwa() is asserted to agree with
rwa_multiregress(). No returned value is clamped or
repaired to satisfy an assertion.There are no user-facing changes in this release.
Raw.Significant is now derived from a comparison
against a randomly generated variable’s weight, rather than from the
confidence interval around the raw weight itself (#26). Raw relative
weights are non-negative, so an interval around a weight almost always
excludes zero and previously flagged even unrelated predictors as
significant. Comparing each weight to that of a random variable is the
approach suggested by Tonidandel, LeBreton and Johnson (2009, https://doi.org/10.1037/a0017735) for judging whether a
weight exceeds what chance alone would produce (see also the discussion
in vignette("evaluating-rwa-method-reference")). This
package applies a directional cutoff on that comparison: a predictor is
significant only when the lower bound of the difference interval is
above zero, so a predictor that performed worse than the random variable
is not reported as significant either. Predictors previously
reported as significant may now correctly be reported as not
significant. rwa() also returns
