pdCompSymm Object Coefficients

Usage

coef(object, unconstrained)

Arguments

object an object inheriting from class pdCompSymm, representing a positive-definite matrix with compound symmetry structure.
unconstrained a logical value. If TRUE the coefficients are returned in unconstrained form (the same used in the optimization algorithm). If FALSE the standard deviation and the correlation coefficient of the compound symmetry of positive-definite matrix represented by object are returned. Defaults to TRUE.

Description

This method function extracts the coefficients associated with the positive-definite matrix represented by object.

Value

a vector with the coefficients corresponding to object.
