R: Class for Elliptically Symmetric Distributions

EllipticalSymmetry-class {distr} | R Documentation

## Class for Elliptically Symmetric Distributions

### Description

Class for elliptically symmetric distributions.

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `new("EllipticalSymmetry")`. More frequently they are created via the generating function `EllipticalSymmetry`. Elliptical symmetry for instance leads to a simplification for the computation of optimally robust influence curves.

### Slots

`type`

  Object of class `"character"`: contains “elliptical symmetric distribution”

`SymmCenter`

  Object of class `"numeric"`: center of symmetry

### Extends

Class `"DistributionSymmetry"`, directly.
Class `"Symmetry"`, by class `"DistributionSymmetry"`.
