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 varFunc
coef(object, unconstrained, allCoef, ...)
# S3 method for varIdent
coef(object, ...) <- value

Value

a vector with the coefficients corresponding to object.

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 TRUE.

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 new values can be assigned to its coefficients.

...

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

SIDE EFFECTS

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