Dtensor {MCMCglmm}R Documentation

Tensor of (mixed) partial derivatives

Description

Forms tensor of (mixed) partial derivatives

Usage

Dtensor(expr, name=NULL, mu = NULL, m=1, evaluate = TRUE)

Arguments

expr 'expression'
name character vector, giving the variable names with respect to which derivatives will be computed. If NULL all variables in the expression will be used
mu optional: numeric vector, at which the derivatives are evaluated
m order of derivative
evaluate logical; if TRUE the derivatives are evaluated at mu, if FALSE the derivatives are left unevaluated

Value

Dtensor (list) of unevaluated expression(s) if evaluate=FALSE or a tensor if evaluate=TRUE
