nparam.vlm {VGAM}

Number of Parameters

Description

Returns the number of parameters in a fitted model object.

Usage

        nparam(object, ...)
    nparam.vlm(object, dpar = TRUE, ...)
   nparam.vgam(object, dpar = TRUE, linear.only = FALSE, ...)
 nparam.rrvglm(object, dpar = TRUE, ...)
nparam.qrrvglm(object, dpar = TRUE, ...)
 nparam.rrvgam(object, dpar = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

object

Some VGAM object, for example, having class vglmff-class.

...

Other possible arguments fed into the function.

dpar

Logical, include any (estimated) dispersion parameters as a parameter?

linear.only

Logical, include only the number of linear (parametric) parameters?

Details

The code was copied from the AIC() methods functions.

Value

Returns a numeric value with the corresponding number of parameters. For vgam objects, this may be real rather than integer, because the nonlinear degrees of freedom is real-valued.

Warning

This code has not been double-checked.
