GammaParameter-class {distr}R Documentation

Class "GammaParameter"

Description

The parameter of a gamma distribution, used by Gammad-class

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("GammaParameter", shape, scale). Usually an object of this class is not needed on its own, it is generated automatically when an object of the class Gammad is instantiated.

Slots

shape:
Object of class "numeric": the shape of a Gamma distribution
scale:
Object of class "numeric": the scale of a Gamma distribution
name:
Object of class "character": a name / comment for the parameters

Extends

Class "Parameter", directly.

Methods

initialize
signature(.Object = "GammaParameter"): initialize method
scale
signature(object = "GammaParameter"): returns the slot scale of a parameter of a Gamma distribution
scale<-
signature(object = "GammaParameter"): modifies the slot scale of a parameter of a Gamma distribution
shape
signature(object = "GammaParameter"): returns the slot shape of a parameter of a Gamma distribution
shape<-
