coef.estimate: Compute Regression Parameters for estimate Objects

Description

There is a direct correspondence between the inverse covariance matrix and multiple regression kwan2014regression,Stephens1998BGGM. This readily allows for converting the GGM parameters to regression coefficients. All data types are supported.

Usage

# S3 method for estimate
coef(object, iter = NULL, progress = TRUE, ...)

Value

An object of class coef, containting two lists.

• betas A list of length p, each containing a p - 1 by iter matrix of posterior samples

• object An object of class estimate (the fitted model).

Arguments

object

An Object of class estimate

iter

Number of iterations (posterior samples; defaults to the number in the object).

progress

Logical. Should a progress bar be included (defaults to TRUE) ?

...

Currently ignored.
