coefvgam {VGAM} | R Documentation

## Extract Model Coefficients of a vgam() Object

### Description

Extracts the estimated coefficients from vgam() objects.

### Usage

    coefvgam(object, type = c("linear", "nonlinear"), ...)

### Arguments

`object` | A `vgam` object.
`type` | Character. The default is the first choice.
`...` | Optional arguments fed into `coefvlm`.

### Details

For VGAMs, because modified backfitting is performed, each fitted function is decomposed into a linear and nonlinear (smooth) part. The argument `type` is used to return which one is wanted.

### Value

A vector if `type = "linear"`. A list if `type = "nonlinear"`, and each component of this list corresponds to an `s` term; the component contains an S4 object with slot names such as `"Bcoefficients"`, `"knots"`, `"xmin"`, `"xmax"`.

### Examples

    fit <- vgam(agaaus ~ s(altitude, df = 2), binomialff, data = hunua)
    coef(fit)  # Same as coef(fit, type = "linear")
    (ii <- coef(fit, type = "nonlinear"))
    is.list(ii)
    names(ii)
    slotNames(ii[[1]])
