estfunReg: Extract Empirical First Derivative of Log-likelihood Function

Description

Generic function for extracting the empirical first derivative of log-likelihood function of a fitted regularized model.

Usage

estfunReg(x, …)

Arguments

x

a fitted model object.

…

arguments passed to methods.

Value

A matrix containing the empirical first derivative of log-likelihood functions. Typically, this should be an \(n \times k\) matrix corresponding to \(n\) observations and \(k\) parameters. The columns should be named as in coef or terms, respectively.
