coef.selm: Coefficients of objects created by 'selm'

In sn: The Skew-Normal and Related Distributions Such as the Skew-t and the SUN

Coefficients of objects created by selm

Description

coef method for classes "selm" and "mselm".

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'selm'
coef(object, param.type = "CP", ...)
## S4 method for signature 'mselm'
coef(object, param.type = "CP", vector=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

object	an object of class "selm" or "mselm" as created by a call to function selm.
param.type	a character string which indicates the required type of parameter type; possible values are "CP" (default), "DP", "pseudo-CP" and their equivalent lower-case expressions.
vector	a logical value (default is TRUE) which selects a vector or a list format of the retuned value
...	not used, included for compatibility with the generic method

Value

a numeric vector or a list (the latter only for mselm-class objects if vector=FALSE)

Note

The possible options of param.type are described in the documentation of dp2cp; their corresponding outcomes differ by an additive constant only. With the "CP" option (that is, the ‘centred parametrization’), the residuals are centred around 0, at least approximately; this is a reason for setting "CP" as the default option. For more information, see the ‘Note’ in the documentation of summary.selm.
