The function returns the variance-covariance matrix of the estimated regression coefficients from a WCE model.
The function returns variance-covariance matrices with the estimated regression coefficients for the supplied WCE model object. The number of matrices returned is equivalent to the length of the nknots
vector (or one matrix, if nknots
is a scalar) passed to the WCE
function when fitting the model.
