# 2R/stanreg.R

The main things to deal with here are the coefficients and the linear predictors/fitted values.

The first few conditionals deal with picking up the estimated coefficients. Sometimes object$family$family isn’t sufficient to pick up on this so you might have to use is(object, "class_name") to determine whether the object is of a certain class (in addition to the class “stanreg”).

The linear.predictors should be an N-dimensional vector of predictions that have not been transformed by the link function. The fitted.values are the linear predictors transformed by the link function. (e.g. if object$family$family == "gaussian" then the linear predictor and fitted values will be identical since the link function is the identity function.)

Lastly, at the end of out <- list(...) you should include any other stuff that you might need for the methods (e.g. spatial models need the spatial weight matrix, stan_betareg needs the info associated with the “z” linear predictor if declared, etc.)
