psi(object, type = c("mode", "mean"))

phi(object, type = c("mode", "mean"))

eta(object, type = c("mode", "mean"))

## S4 method for signature 'SaemixObject'
psi(object, type = c("mode", "mean"))

## S4 method for signature 'SaemixObject'
phi(object, type = c("mode", "mean"))

## S4 method for signature 'SaemixObject'
eta(object, type = c("mode", "mean"))

Arguments

object

an SaemixObject object returned by the saemix function

type

a string specifying whether to use the MAP (type="mode") or the mean (type="mean") of the conditional distribution of the individual parameters. Defaults to mode

Details

The psi_i represent the individual parameter estimates. In the SAEM algorithm, these parameters are assumed to be a transformation of a Gaussian random vector phi_i, where the phi_i can be written as a function of the individual random effects (eta_i), the covariate matrix (C_i) and the vector of fixed effects (mu):

phi_i = C_i mu + eta_i

More details can be found in the PDF documentation.

Value

a matrix with the individual parameters (psi/phi) or the random effects (eta). These functions are used to access and output the estimates of parameters and random effects. When the object passed to the function does not contain these estimates, they are automatically computed. The object is then returned (invisibly) with these estimates added to the results.

Methods

list("signature(object = \"SaemixObject\")")
