VirtualContControl-class {simFrame}

Class "VirtualContControl"

Description

Virtual superclass for controlling contamination in a simulation experiment.

Objects from the Class

A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

Slots

target:

Object of class "OptCharacter"; a character vector specifying specifying the variables (columns) to be contaminated, or NULL to contaminate all variables (except the additional ones generated internally).

epsilon:

Object of class "numeric" giving the contamination levels.

Extends

Class "OptContControl", directly.

Accessor and mutator methods

getTarget

signature(x = "VirtualContControl"): get slot target.

setTarget

signature(x = "VirtualContControl"): set slot target.

getEpsilon

signature(x = "VirtualContControl"): get slot epsilon.

setEpsilon

signature(x = "VirtualContControl"): set slot epsilon.

Methods

head

signature(x = "VirtualContControl"): currently returns the object itself.

length

signature(x = "VirtualContControl"): get the number of contamination levels to be used.

show

signature(object = "VirtualContControl"): print the object on the R console.

summary

signature(object = "VirtualContControl"): currently returns the object itself.

tail

signature(x = "VirtualContControl"): currently returns the object itself.
