sigma.PLNfit: Extract variance-covariance of residuals 'Sigma'

In PLNmodels: Poisson Lognormal Models

Extract variance-covariance of residuals 'Sigma'

Description

Extract the variance-covariance matrix of the residuals, usually noted

\Sigma

in PLN models. This captures the correlation between the species in the latent space.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'PLNfit'
sigma(object, ...)

Arguments

object	an R6 object with class PLNfit
...	additional parameters for S3 compatibility. Not used

Value

A semi definite positive matrix of size p, assuming there are p species in the model.

Examples

data(trichoptera)
trichoptera <- prepare_data(trichoptera$Abundance, trichoptera$Covariate)
myPLN <- PLN(Abundance ~ 1 + offset(log(Offset)), data = trichoptera)
sigma(myPLN) ## Sigma
