Is there a simple say of extracting the shape parameter from gnlr? The return given is the actual function rather than the value. I have looked at all the values returned by names(gnlr). ie gmod<-gnlr(data,....) gmod$shape returns the function definition rather than the value found. Simple case I am using it is for censored normal data (rather simpler than survival4 it seems). The value printed is the log of the variance (it seems).
