| ParamFamily-class {distrMod} | R Documentation |
Class of parametric families of probability measures.
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("ParamFamily", ...).
More frequently they are created via the generating function
ParamFamily.
name:"ProbFamily"]
object of class "character":
name of the family. distribution:"ProbFamily"]
object of class "Distribution":
member of the family. distrSymm:"ProbFamily"]
object of class "DistributionSymmetry":
symmetry of distribution. param:"ParamFamParameter":
parameter of the family. fam.call:"call":
call by which parametric family was produced.makeOKPar:"function":
has argument param — the (total) parameter,
returns valid parameter; used if optim resp. optimize—
try to use ``illegal'' parameter values; then makeOKPar makes
a valid parameter value out of the illegal one.startPar:"function":
has argument x — the data,
returns starting parameter for optim resp. optimize—
a starting estimator in case parameter is multivariate
or a search interval in case parameter is univariate.modifyParam:"function":
mapping from the parameter space (represented by "param")
to the distribution space (represented by "distribution"). props:"ProbFamily"]
object of class "character":
properties of the family.
Class "ProbFamily", directly.
signature(object = "ParamFamily"):
wrapped accessor function for slot main of
slot param. signature(object = "ParamFamily"):
wrapped accessor function for slot nuisance
of slot param. signature(object = "ParamFamily"):
wrapped accessor function for slot fixed
of slot param. signature(object = "ParamFamily", param = "missing"):
wrapped accessor function for slot trafo
of slot param. signature(object = "ParamFamily"):
accessor function for slot param. signature(object = "ParamFamily"):
accessor function for slot modifyParam. signature(object = "ParamFamily"):
accessor function for slot fam.call. signature(x = "ParamFamily"):
plot of slot distribution. signature(object = "ParamFamily")
Detailedness of output by methods show, print is controlled
by the global option show.details to be set by
distrModoptions.
As method show is used when inspecting an object by typing the object's
name into the console, show comes without extra arguments and hence
detailedness must be controlled by global options.
Method print may be called with a (partially matched) argument
show.details, and then the global option is temporarily set to this
value.
For class ParamFamily, this becomes relevant for slot param.
For details therefore confer to ParamFamParameter-class.
