Calculating the penalty matrix P depends on the number of covariates 'p', the order of differences to be penalized 'pen.order', the number of observations 'n' and the penalty parameters 'lambda''.
penalty.matrix(penden.env, temp = FALSE)Containing all information, environment of pencopula().
If TRUE, the iteration for a new 'b' is not finished and a temporary penalty matrix is calculated, default = FALSE.
