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.
