Distribution-class {distr}R Documentation

Class "Distribution"

Description

The Distribution-class is the mother-class of class UnivariateDistribution.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("Distribution").

Slots

img:
Object of class "rSpace": the space of the image
param:
Object of class "OptionalParameter": the parameter
r:
Object of class "function": generates random numbers
d:
Object of class "OptionalFunction": density function
p:
Object of class "OptionalFunction": cumulative distribution function
q:
Object of class "OptionalFunction": quantile function
.withArith:
logical: used internally to issue warnings as to interpretation of arithmetics
.withSim:
logical: used internally to issue warnings as to accuracy
.logExact:
logical: used internally to flag the case where there are explicit formulae for the log version of density, cdf, and quantile function
.lowerExact:
logical: used internally to flag the case where there are explicit formulae for the lower tail version of cdf and quantile function

Methods

img
signature(object = "Distribution"): returns the space of the image
param
signature(object = "Distribution"): returns the parameter
r
signature(object = "Distribution"): returns the random number generator
d
signature(object = "Distribution"): returns the density function
p
signature(object = "Distribution"): returns the cumulative distribution function
q
signature(object = "Distribution"): returns the quantile function
.logExact
signature(object = "Distribution"): returns slot .logExact if existing; else tries to convert the object to a newer version of its class by conv2NewVersion and returns the corresponding slot of the converted object.
.lowerExact
signature(object = "Distribution"): returns slot .lowerExact if existing; else tries to convert the object to a newer version of its class by conv2NewVersion and returns the corresponding slot of the converted object.
