Objects representing probability distributions for the use with objects of class
hmm are created by calls to new(Class, ...), where Class is
"contDist", "tDist" or "discDist".
## S4 method for signature 'tDist': new(Class, mean=0, var=1, df=3) ## S4 method for signature 'discDist': new(Class, alpha=character(0), prob=numeric(0), dstr=list())
Class |
Character string specifying the class of the object to be created. |
mean |
The location parameter of the t distribution. |
var |
The scale parameter of the t distribution. |
df |
The degrees of freedom of the t distribution. |
alpha |
A character vector with names for all events. |
prob |
A numeric vector providing the probabilities of events. |
dstr |
A list with each entry providing the probability of one event. |
To generate objects of class discDist either alpha and prob
or dstr have to be provided. If alpha and prob are provided
they have to be the same length.
contDist,
representing a continuous probability distribution. This is used as a super class
for specific distributions and should not be used directly.tDist,
representing a t distribution with location and scale parameter.discDist,
representing a discrete probability distribution.Peter Humburg
