Arguments

x

either a formula, pim.formula, terms.object or a character vector representing a formula.

Details

In case of a terms.object, this function only checks whether the intercept attribute is larger than 0. In all other cases, the function checks whether it can find a + 1 somewhere in the formula, indicating that an intercept has to be fit in a pim.

Value

a single logical value

Note

This function is meant to be used in the context of a pim call. Although the function should work for standard formulas as well, correct results are not guaranteed when used outside a pim context.
