coef.FDboost {FDboost}R Documentation

Coefficients of boosted functional regression model

Description

Takes a fitted FDboost-object produced by FDboost() and returns estimated coefficient functions/surfaces \beta(t), \beta(s,t) and estimated smooth effects f(z), f(x,z) or f(x, z, t). Not implemented for smooths in more than 3 dimensions.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'FDboost'
coef(
  object,
  raw = FALSE,
  which = NULL,
  computeCoef = TRUE,
  returnData = FALSE,
  n1 = 40,
  n2 = 40,
  n3 = 20,
  n4 = 10,
  ...
)

Arguments

object

a fitted FDboost-object

raw

logical defaults to FALSE. If raw = FALSE for each effect the estimated function/surface is calculated. If raw = TRUE the coefficients of the model are returned.

which

a subset of base-learners for which the coefficients should be computed (numeric vector), defaults to NULL which is the same as which=1:length(object$baselearner). In the special case of which=0, only the coefficients of the offset are returned.

computeCoef

defaults to TRUE, if FALSE only the names of the terms are returned

returnData

return the dataset which is used to get the coefficient estimates as predictions, see Details.

n1

see below

n2

see below

n3

n1, n2, n3 give the number of grid-points for 1-/2-/3-dimensional smooth terms used in the marginal equidistant grids over the range of the covariates at which the estimated effects are evaluated.

n4

gives the number of points for the third dimension in a 3-dimensional smooth term

...

other arguments, not used.

Details

If raw = FALSE the function coef.FDboost generates adequate dummy data and uses the function predict.FDboost to compute the estimated coefficient functions.

Value

If raw = FALSE, a list containing

If raw = TRUE, a list containing the estimated spline coefficients.
