depmixS4 (version 1.4-2)

responses: Response models currently implemented in depmix.

Description

Depmix contains a number of default response models. We provide a brief description of these here.

BINOMresponse

BINOMresponse is a binomial response model. It derives from the basic GLMresponse class.

y:

The dependent variable can be either a binary vector, a factor, or a 2-column matrix, with successes and misses.

x:

The design matrix.

Parameters:

A named list with a single element ``coefficients'', which contains the GLM coefficients.

GAMMAresponse

GAMMAresponse is a model for a Gamma distributed response. It extends the basic GLMresponse class directly.

y:

The dependent variable.

x:

The design matrix.

Parameters:

A named list with a single element ``coefficients'', which contains the GLM coefficients.

MULTINOMresponse

MULTINOMresponse is a model for a multinomial distributed response. It extends the basic GLMresponse class, although the functionality is somewhat different from other models that do so.

y:

The dependent variable. This is a binary matrix with N rows and Y columns, where Y is the total number of categories.

x:

The design matrix.

Parameters:

A named list with a single element ``coefficients'', which is an ncol(x) by ncol(y) matrix which contains the GLM coefficients.

MVNresponse

MVNresponse is a model for a multivariate normal distributed response. See codemakeDepmix for an example of how to use this and other non-glm like distributions.

y:

The dependent variable. This is a matrix.

x:

The design matrix.

Parameters:

A named list with a elements ``coefficients'', which contains the GLM coefficients, and ``Sigma'', which contains the covariance matrix.

NORMresponse

NORMresponse is a model for a normal (Gaussian) distributed response. It extends the basic GLMresponse class directly.

y:

The dependent variable.

x:

The design matrix.

Parameters:

A named list with elements ``coefficients'', which contains the GLM coefficients, and ``sd'', which contains the standard deviation.

POISSONresponse

POISSONresponse is a model for a Poisson distributed response. It extends the basic GLMresponse class directly.

y:

The dependent variable.

x:

The design matrix.

Parameters:

A named list with a single element ``coefficients'', which contains the GLM coefficients.
