R: Class "GammaParameter"

GammaParameter-class {distr} | R Documentation

## Class "GammaParameter"

### Description

The parameter of a gamma distribution, used by `Gammad`-class

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `new("GammaParameter", shape, scale)`. Usually an object of this class is not needed on its own, it is generated automatically when an object of the class `Gammad` is instantiated.

### Slots

`shape`

  Object of class `"numeric"`: the shape of a Gamma distribution

`scale`

  Object of class `"numeric"`: the scale of a Gamma distribution

`name`

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

### Extends

Class `"Parameter"`, directly.

### Methods

initialize

  `signature(.Object = "GammaParameter")`: initialize method

scale

  `signature(object = "GammaParameter")`: returns the slot `scale` of a parameter of a Gamma distribution

scale<-

  `signature(object = "GammaParameter")`: modifies the slot `scale` of a parameter of a Gamma distribution

shape

  `signature(object = "GammaParameter")`: returns the slot `shape` of a parameter of a Gamma distribution

shape<-

  `signature(object = "GammaParameter")`: modifies the slot `shape` of a parameter of a Gamma distribution
