estimate_contrasts with transform = "response" for a logistic model does not give estimates in terms of probabilities

[ManuelSpinola]

When doing estimate_contrasts with transform = "response" for a logistic model the estimates are not in terms of probabilities like the help page said:

"Thus for a logistic model, "none" will give estimations expressed in log-odds (probabilities on logit scale) and "response" in terms of probabilities."

g <- glm(vs ~ factor(am), data = mtcars, family = binomial())

estimate_contrasts(g, contrast = "am", transform = "response")

Can you update the package and check again? This works for me:

g <- glm(vs ~ factor(am), data = mtcars, family = binomial())

modelbased::estimate_contrasts(g, contrast = "am", transform = "response")

I really think we should be updating the CRAN version soon.

This issue keeps resurfacing here, and we keep asking users to update to the GitHub version.

[DominiqueMakowski]

yes right, I'll submit soon then (I'm testing some of the improvements)

Thank you Dominique. May be I am confused but I was expecting the difference in probabilities not in odds ratios, like the help says. I can have the difference in probabilities using the emmeans package: em <- emmeans(g, "am", type = "response") |> regrid() pairs(em) contrast estimate SE df z.ratio p.value am0 - am1 -0.17 0.177 Inf -0.960 0.3370 El dom, 16 oct 2022 a las 2:47, Dominique Makowski (< ***@***.***>) escribió:
