coef.varFunc: varFunc Object Coefficients

Description

This method function extracts the coefficients associated with the variance function structure represented by object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'varFunc':
coef(object, unconstrained, allCoef, \dots)
## S3 method for class 'varIdent':
coef(object, \dots) <- value

Arguments

object

an object inheriting from class "varFunc" representing a variance function structure.

unconstrained

a logical value. If TRUE the coefficients are returned in unconstrained form (the same used in the optimization algorithm). If FALSE the coefficients are returned in "natural", generally constrained form. Defaults to

allCoef

a logical value. If FALSE only the coefficients which may vary during the optimization are returned. If TRUE all coefficients are returned. Defaults to FALSE.

value

a vector with the replacement values for the coefficients associated with object. It must be have the same length of coef{object} and must be given in unconstrained form. Object must be initialized before ne

...

some methods for this generic require additional arguments. None are used in this method.

Value

• a vector with the coefficients corresponding to object.

SIDE EFFECTS

On the left side of an assignment, sets the values of the coefficients of object to value.
