Calculate Variance-Covariance Matrix for Models Fitted with Bootstrapped Parameters

Source: R/f_s3_rendoboots.R

The variance-covariance matrix is derived from the bootstrapped parameter estimates stored in the object. It is based on Efron (1979) and calculates the result as follows:

1/(B-1) * Σ(θb - θ̅)(θb - θ̅)'

where B is the number of bootstraps and θ̅ is the mean of the bootstrapped coefficients.

vcov(object, ...)

Arguments

object

a fitted model object with bootstrapped parameters. Typically from copulaCorrection

...

ignored, for consistency with the generic function.

Value

A matrix of the estimated covariances between the parameter estimates of the model. The row and column names correspond to the parameter names given by the coef method.
