#' StandTransPhi
#'
#' This function calculates the (vectorized) transformed standardized Phi, their covariance matrix and elliptical 95\% confidence interval (CI). There is also an interactive web application on my website: Standardizing and/or transforming lagged regression estimates (\url{https://www.uu.nl/staff/RMKuiper/Websites\%20\%2F\%20Shiny\%20apps}).
#'
#' @param DeltaTStar The time interval to which the (un)standardized lagged effects matrix (Phi) should be transformed to.
#' @param DeltaT Optional. The time interval used. Hence, Phi(DeltaT) will be transformed to Phi(DeltaTStar) and standardized. By default, DeltaT = 1.
#' @param N Optional. Number of persons (panel data) or number measurement occasions - 1 (time series data). This is used in determining the covariance matrix of the vectorized standardized lagged effects. By default, N = NULL.
#' @param Phi (Un)standardized lagged effects matrix. If necessary, it is standardized, then it is transformed and for this vectorized Phi the covariance matrix is determined.
#' It also takes a fitted object from the classes "varest" (from the VAR() function in vars package) and "ctsemFit" (from the ctFit() function in the ctsem package); see example below. From such an object, the Phi, SigmaVAR, and Gamma matrices are calculated/extracted.
#' @param SigmaVAR Residual covariance matrix of the first-order discrete-time vector autoregressive (DT-VAR(1)) model.
#' @param Gamma Optional (either SigmaVAR or Gamma). Stationary covariance matrix, that is, the contemporaneous covariance matrix of the data.
#' Note that if Phi and SigmaVAR are known, Gamma can be calculated; hence, only SigmaVAR or Gamma is needed as input (if only Gamma, then use 'Gamma = Gamma' or set SigmaVAR to NULL, see examples below).
#' @param alpha Optional. The alpha level in determining the (1-alpha)*100\% CI. By default, alpha = 0.05; resulting in a 95\% CI
#'
#' @return This function returns the vectorized transformed (standardized) lagged effects and - if N is part of input - their covariance matrix and the corresponding elliptical/multivariate 95\% CI. If both Sigma and Gamma are not part of the input, only the transformed Phi is calculated.
