BetaParameter-class {distr}

Class "BetaParameter"

Description

The parameter of a beta distribution, used by Beta-class

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("BetaParameter", shape1, shape2, ncp). Usually an object of this class is not needed on its own, it is generated automatically when an object of the class Beta is instantiated.

Slots

shape1

Object of class "numeric": the shape1 of a beta distribution

shape2

Object of class "numeric": the shape2 of a beta distribution

ncp

Object of class "numeric": the noncentrality parameter of a beta distribution

name

Object of class "character": a name / comment for the parameters

Extends

Class "Parameter", directly.

signature(.Object = "BetaParameter"): initialize method

shape1

signature(object = "BetaParameter"): returns the slot shape1 of the parameter of the distribution

signature(object = "BetaParameter"): modifies the slot shape1 of the parameter of the distribution

shape2

signature(object = "BetaParameter"): returns the slot shape2 of the parameter of the distribution

shape2<-

signature(object = "BetaParameter"): modifies the slot shape2 of the parameter of the distribution

shape2(W) # shape2 of this distribution is 1.
shape2(W) <- 2 # shape2 of this distribution is now 2.
