Obtaining just the basic information from the fits:
distill
: The distill
method function works on fevd
output to obtain only pertinent information and output it in a very user-friendly format (i.e., a single vector). Mostly, this simply means returning the parameter estimates, but for some methods, more information (e.g., the optimized negative log-likelihood value and parameter covariances) can also be returned. In the case of the parameter covariances (returned if cov
= TRUE), if np is the number of parameters in the model, the covariance matrix can be obtained by peeling off the last np^2 values of the vector, call it v, and using v <- matrix(v, np, np).
As with ci
, only distill
need be called by the user. The appropriate choice of the other functions is automatically determined from the fevd
fitted object.
numeric vector giving the parameter values, and if estimation method is MLE/GMLE, then the negative log-likelihood. If the estimation method is MLE/GMLE or Bayesian, then the parameter covariance values (collapsed with c
) are concatenated to the end as well.
