calcRamification: Calculation of Ramification

Description

This function computes on the basis of the data the number of ramifications, which is used later for estimation of parameters. In this setting of a [p-p-p-q]-model calculation for ramification delivers value of 4. Function is used by main function "estimationFunction" and shall not be called or changed by user.

Usage

calcRamification(figure)

Arguments

figure

Data matrix for which ramification is calculated

Value

Returns ramification of Data
