Extract Gradients

gradients is a generic function which extracts gradients from objects.

Usage

gradients(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'condensity'
gradients(x, errors = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for class 'condistribution'
gradients(x, errors = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for class 'npregression'
gradients(x, errors = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for class 'qregression'
gradients(x, errors = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for class 'singleindex'
gradients(x, errors = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x: an object for which the extraction of gradients is meaningful.
...: other arguments.
errors: a logical value specifying whether or not standard errors of gradients are desired. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

Gradients extracted from the model object x.

Details

This function provides a generic interface for extraction of gradients from objects.

Note

This method currently only supports objects from the np library.

Examples

x <- runif(10)
y <- x + rnorm(10, sd = 0.1)
gradients(npreg(y~x, gradients=TRUE))
