Return the estimates of the conditional effects in the output of cond_effect() or cond_effect_boot().

Usage

# S3 method for cond_effect
coef(object, ...)

Arguments

object

The output of cond_effect() or cond_effect_boot().

...

Optional arguments. Ignored by the function.

Value

A numeric vector: The estimates of the conditional effects in a cond_effect-class object.

Details

It just extracts and returns the column of conditional effects in a cond_effect-class object.
