makeXZy: Prepare Design Matrices and Response Vector

Description

Processes a model formula and a data frame to generate design matrices (`X` and `Z`) and a response vector (`y`) for regression models, including support for complex formulas with `|` operators.

Usage

makeXZy(formula, df)

Value

A list containing the following components:

X

A design matrix for the main predictors.

Z

A design matrix for additional predictors (e.g., for a secondary process in a two-component model).

y

The response vector extracted from the formula.

Arguments

formula

A symbolic description of the model, where the left-hand side specifies the response variable and the right-hand side specifies predictors. Formulas can include a `|` operator to separate predictors for different components of a model.

df

A data frame containing the variables specified in the formula.

Details

This function processes the formula to extract and construct: - `X`: The main design matrix. - `Z`: A secondary design matrix (if a `|` operator is used in the formula, separating components). - `y`: The response variable.

It handles cases where the formula specifies: - Only the main component (e.g., y ~ x1 + x2). - A secondary component using the `|` operator (e.g., y ~ x1 + x2 | z1 + z2).
