Description

Classes for bounded, robust weights.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("BoundedWeight", ...).

Slots

name

Object of class "character"; inherited from class RobWeight.

weight

Object of class "function" — the weight function; inherited from class RobWeight.

clip

Object of class "numeric" — clipping bound(s).

Extends

Class "RobWeight", directly.

Methods

clip

signature(x1 = "BoundedWeight"): accessor function for slot clip.

clip<-

signature(object = "BoundedWeight", value = "numeric"): replacement function for slot clip. This replacement method should be used with great care, as the slot weight is not simultaneously updated and hence, this may lead to inconsistent objects.
