make_design_mat {cprobit}

Inpernal function: construct design matrix without the intercept term.

Description

Inpernal function: construct design matrix without the intercept term.

Usage

make_design_mat(lp, dat, remove_intercept = TRUE)

Arguments

lp

Formula for the linear predictor part, as a string.

dat

Data to construct the design matrix from.

remove_intercept

Whether the first column should be removed. Default is TRUE (to remove the intercept term).

Value

Returns a list containing the constructed design matrix and the original variable names. In the column names of the design matrix returned , any : in variable names are replaced with . to avoid computational issues when using the design matrix to fit model.
