Split a vector using the prefixes of the names for grouping.

renewalCoefList(coef)

Arguments

coef

a named vector

Details

The names of the coefficients of renewal regression models are prefixed with the names of the parameters to which they refer. This function splits such vectors into a list with one component for each parameter. For example, for a Weibull renewal regression model this will create a list with components "scale" and "shape".

This is a convenience function allowing users to manipulate the coefficients related to a parameter more easily. renewalCoef can convert this list back to a vector.
