Usage

get_functions(form, lp)

Value

An array containing the strings for the nonlinear functions of the formula.

Arguments

form

Either a string in the form 'y ~ ...' or an object of formula class

lp

A string array with the names of the linear parameters contained in the formula as obtained with get_parameters function

Details

This is an internal function used by nls_tac. A separable nonlinear formula is of the form $$y ~ a_1 f_1(x;p) + a_2 f_2(x;p) + \ldots + a_n f_n(x;p),$$ where \(f_1\),..., \(f_n\) are general nonlinear functions, \(a_1\),...,\(a_n\), are the linear coefficients and \(p\) is the vector of nonlinear parameters. The formula given in the input should be of this form and get_functions will return an array with the string expressions of functions \(f_i\).
