NormParameter-class {distr}R Documentation

Class "NormParameter"

Description

The parameter of a normal distribution, used by Norm-class

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("NormParameter", sd, mean). Usually an object of this class is not needed on its own. It is the mother-class of the class UniNormParameter, which is generated automatically when such a distribution is instantiated.

Slots

sd:
Object of class "numeric": the sd of a normal distribution
mean:
Object of class "numeric": the mean of a normal distribution
name:
Object of class "character": a name / comment for the parameters

Extends

Class "Parameter", directly.

Methods

initialize
signature(.Object = "NormParameter"): initialize method
mean
signature(object = "NormParameter"): returns the slot mean of the parameter of the distribution
mean<-
signature(object = "NormParameter"): modifies the slot mean of the parameter of the distribution
sd
signature(object = "NormParameter"): returns the slot sd of the parameter of the distribution
sd<-
signature(object = "NormParameter"): modifies the slot sd of the parameter of the distribution
