Effective degrees of freedom from gamlss model

Description

The functions edf() and edfAll() can be used to obtained the effective degrees of freedom for different additive terms for the distribution parameters in a gamlss model.

Usage

edf(obj, what = c("mu", "sigma", "nu", "tau"),
    parameter= NULL, print = TRUE, ...)
edfAll(obj, ...)

Arguments

Value

The function edfAll() re turns a list of edf for all the fitted parameters. The function edf() a vector of edf.

Note

The edf given are the ones fitted in the backfitting so the usually contained (depending on the additive term) the contatnt and the linear part.
