Distribution S4 Classes
Description
A collection of classes that provide a flexible and structured way to work with probability distributions.
Value
The dpqr family of functions return the evaluated density, cumulative probability, quantile, and random sample, respectively. The moments family of functions return the appropriate theoretical moment, as calculated by the distribution true parameters. The ll function returns the evaluated log-likelihood, given a sample and the theoretical parameters. The estim family of functions return the estimated parameters of the distribution, given a sample. The avar family of functions return the asymptotic variance or variance - covariance matrix (if there are two or more parameters) of the corresponding estimation method. Calculus performed on Distribution objects returns a Distribution object of the appropriate class and with the appropriate parameters.
