vcov.DRMod: Calculate the (asymptotic) variance covariance matrix of a DRMod object

Description

Calculate (asymptotic) confidence intervals for parameters in a DRMod object, based on standard asymptotic theory for nonlinear models, see Seber and Wild (2003).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DRMod':
vcov(object, data = getData(object), uGrad = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object
A DRMod object.
data
Data frame containing the variables on which the DRMod object was fitted (this needs to be handed over if DRMod object does not contain the data on which is was fitted).
uGrad
Function to return the gradient of a user defined model, see Examples of the fitDRModel function.
...
Additional arguments

Value

  • The covariance matrix
