coef.mnprobit: Coefficients extraction method for mnprobit.

Description

Extract coefficients and other estimates from mnprobit object.

Usage

# S3 method for mnprobit
coef(object, ..., alt = NULL, regime = NULL, type = "coef")

Value

See 'Details' section.

Arguments

object

object of class "mnprobit"

...

further arguments (currently ignored)

alt

integer representing index of the alternative

regime

integer representing regime of the continuous equation

type

character representing the type of the output. Possible options are "coef", "coef2", "cov1", "var", "cov2", coef_lambda. See 'Details' for additional information.

Details

Consider notations from the 'Details' section of mnprobit.

Suppose that type = "coef". Then estimates of \(\gamma_{j}\) coefficients are returned for each \(j\in\{1,...,J\}\). If alt = j then only estimates of \(\gamma_{j}\) coefficients are returned.

Suppose that type = "coef2". Then estimates of \(\beta_{r}\) coefficients are returned for each \(r\in\{0,...,R - 1\}\). If regime = r then estimates only for the \(r\)-th regime are returned.

Suppose that type = "cov1". Then estimate of the covariance matrix of \(u_{i}\) is returned. If alt = c(a, b) then the function returns \((a, b)\)-th element of this matrix i.e. an element from a-th row and b-th column that is an estimate of \(Cov(u_{ai},u_{bi})\).

Suppose that type = "cov12". Then estimates of covariances between \(u_{i}\) and \(\varepsilon_{i}\) are returned. If alt = j and regime = r then the function returns an estimate of \(Cov(u_{ji}, \varepsilon_{ri})\).

Suppose that type = "var" or type = "cov2". Then estimates of the variances of \(\varepsilon_{i}\) are returned. If regime = r then estimate of \(Var(\varepsilon_{ri})\) is returned.

Suppose that type = "coef_lambda". Then estimates of the coefficients for \(\hat{\lambda}^{t}_{ji}\) are returned i.e. estimates of \(\tau_{jt}\) for each regime. If regime = r then estimates are returned for the \(r\)-th regime. If in addition alt = j then only estimates for this \(j\)-th alternative and \(r\)-th regime are returned.
