PoisParameter-class {distr} | R Documentation

## Class "PoisParameter"

### Description

The parameter of a Poisson distribution, used by Pois-class

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `new("PoisParameter", lambda)`. Usually an object of this class is not needed on its own, it is generated automatically when an object of the class Pois is prepared.

### Slots

`lambda`

  Object of class `"numeric"`: the lambda of a Poisson distribution

`name`

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

### Extends

Class `"Parameter"`, directly.

### Methods

initialize

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

lambda

  `signature(object = "PoisParameter")`: returns the slot lambda of the parameter of the distribution

lambda<-

  `signature(object = "PoisParameter")`: modifies the slot lambda of the parameter of the distribution
