R: Class "ExpParameter"

ExpParameter-class {distr} | R Documentation

## Class "ExpParameter"

### Description

The parameter of an exponential distribution, used by Exp-class and DExp-class

### Objects from the Class

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

### Slots

`rate`

  Object of class `"numeric"`: the rate of an exponential distribution

`name`

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

### Extends

Class `"Parameter"`, directly.

### Methods

initialize

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

rate

  `signature(object = "ExpParameter")`: returns the slot `rate` of the parameter of the distribution

rate<-

  `signature(object = "ExpParameter")`: modifies the slot `rate` of the parameter of the distribution
