derivatives {KSPM}

Computing kernel function derivatives

Description

derivatives is a function for "kspm" object computing pointwise partial derivatives of h(Z) accroding to each Z variable.

Usage

derivatives(object)

Arguments

object

an object of class "kspm", usually, a result of a call to kspm.

Details

derivatives are not computed for interactions. If a variable is included in several kernels, the user may obtain the corresponding pointwise derivatives by summing the pointwise derivatives associated with each kernel.

Value

an object of class 'derivatives'

derivmat

a list of n \times d matrix (one for each kernel) where n is the number of subjects and d the number of variables included in the kernel

rawmat

a n \times q matrix with all variables included in the kernel part of the model q the number of variables included in the whole kernel part

scalemat

scaled version of rawmat

modelmat

matrix of correspondance between variable and kernels
