galamm (version 0.2.2)

sigma.galamm: Extract square root of dispersion parameter from galamm object

Description

Extracts the square root of the dispersion parameter(s) from an object of class galamm, returned from galamm. In the case of conditionally Gaussian responses, this is the residual standard deviation. When there are multiple dispersion parameters, e.g., with mixed response type models, the square root of all of them are returned in a numeric vector.

Usage

# S3 method for galamm
sigma(object, ...)

Value

The square root of one or more dispersion parameters.

Arguments

object

An object of class galamm, returned from galamm.

...

Optional parameters passed on to other methods. Currently not used.

Examples

# Linear mixed model with heteroscedastic residuals
mod <- galamm(
  formula = y ~ x + (1 | id),
  weights = ~ (1 | item),
