setCovValue: The covariance, method name and options a result installs

In nlmixr2est: Nonlinear Mixed Effects Models in Population PK/PD, Estimation Routines

The covariance, method name and options a result installs

Description

The generic behind setCov(fit) <- value. A method returns list(cov =, method =, options =): the covariance named like fit$cov, the covariance-method name to install it as, and the options recorded for it (the same key setCovOptions() gives the control that would compute it, so setCov() can reuse it). It may also return extra, a named list of objects stored in the fit environment (so fit$<name> returns them) once the covariance is installed – the full result the covariance came from, say.

Usage

setCovValue(value, fit, method = NULL, ...)

## Default S3 method:
setCovValue(value, fit, method = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'matrix'
setCovValue(value, fit, method = NULL, ...)

Arguments

value	the result to install
fit	nlmixr2 fit
method	requested covariance-method name, or NULL
...	ignored by the built-in methods

Value

list(cov, method, options), optionally with extra
