studentDist-class {optimalThreshold}

An S4 class to represent a scaled Student distribution.

Description

This S4 class describes the scaled t distribution that is fitted to the marker values. The scaled t distribution is characterized by the df (degrees of freedom), the mu, and the sd parameters.

Details

You never have to create this class manually. This class is created internally when a scaled t distribution is fitted on the marker values.

Slots

df

degrees of freedom (> 0, maybe non-integer).

mu
