S4 methods for function vcov. As in the generic vcov S3 `stats' method, these methods extract variance-covariance estimates of parameter estimators, for the models fitted to Interval Data.
# S4 method for IdtNDE
vcov(object, selmodel=BestModel(object), …)
# S4 method for IdtSNDE
vcov(object, selmodel=BestModel(object), …)
# S4 method for IdtNandSNDE
vcov(object, selmodel=BestModel(object), …)
# S4 method for IdtMxNDE
vcov(object, selmodel=BestModel(object), group=NULL, …)
# S4 method for IdtMxSNDE
vcov(object, selmodel=BestModel(object), group=NULL, …)An object representing a model fitted to interval data.
Selected model from a list of candidate models saved in object.
The group for each the estimated parameter variance-covariance will be returned. If NULL (default),
“vcov” will return a three-dimensional array with a matrix of the estimated covariances between the parameter estimates for each group at each level of the third dimension.
Note that this argument is only used in heterocedastic models, i.e. in the '>IdtMxNDE, '>IdtMxSNDE methods when the object slot “Hmcdt” is set to to FALSE.
Additional arguments for method functions.
For the '>IdtNDE, '>IdtSNDE and '>IdtNandSNDE methods or '>IdtMxNDE, '>IdtMxSNDE methods with slot “Hmcdt” equal to TRUE: a matrix of the estimated covariances between the parameter estimates. For the '>IdtMxNDE, and '>IdtMxSNDE methods with slot “Hmcdt” equal to FALSE: if argument “group” is set to NULL, a three-dimensional array with a matrix of the estimated covariances between the parameter estimates for each group at each level of the third dimension. If argument “group” is set to an integer, the matrix with the estimated covariances between the parameter estimates, for the group chosen.
