kStepEstimate-class.
Class of asymptotically linear estimates.
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("kStepEstimate", ...).
More frequently they are created via the generating function 
kStepEstimator.
nameObject of class "character":
name of the estimator. 
estimateObject of class "ANY":
estimate. 
estimate.callObject of class "call":
call by which estimate was produced.
samplesize object of class "numeric" —
the samplesize (only complete cases are counted)
at which the estimate was evaluated. 
completecases: object of class "logical" —
complete cases at which the estimate was evaluated. 
asvar object of class "OptionalNumericOrMatrix"
which may contain the asymptotic (co)variance of the estimator. 
asbiasOptional object of class "numeric":
asymptotic bias. 
pICOptional object of class InfluenceCurve:
influence curve. 
nuis.idx object of class "OptionalNumeric": 
indices of estimate belonging to the nuisance part. 
fixed object of class "OptionalNumeric":
the fixed and known part of the parameter.
stepsObject of class "integer": number
of steps. 
Infos object of class "matrix"
with two columns named method and message:
additional informations. 
trafo object of class "list":
a list with components fct and mat (see below). 
untransformed.estimate:Object of class "ANY":
untransformed estimate.
untransformed.asvar: object of class "OptionalNumericOrMatrix"
which may contain the asymptotic (co)variance of the untransformed
estimator. 
pICListOptional object of class "OptionalpICList":
the list of (intermediate) (partial) influence curves used;
only filled when called from kStepEstimator with argument
withPICList==TRUE. 
ICListOptional object of class "OptionalpICList":
the list of (intermediate) (total) influence curves used;
only filled when called from kStepEstimator with argument
withICList==TRUE. 
startThe argument start — of class "StartClass"
used in call to kStepEstimator. 
startvalObject of class matrix:
the starting value with which the k-step Estimator was initialized
(in p-space / transformed). 
ustartvalObject of class matrix:
the starting value with which the k-step Estimator was initialized
(in k-space / untransformed). 
kstepsObject of class "OptionalMatrix":
the intermediate estimates (in p-space) for the parameter;
only filled when called from kStepEstimator. 
ukstepsObject of class "OptionalMatrix":
the intermediate estimates (in k-space) for the parameter;
only filled when called from kStepEstimator. 
robestcallObject of class "OptionalCall", i.e.,
a call or NULL: only filled when called from roptest
in package ROptEst.
Class "ALEstimate", directly.
Class "Estimate", by class "ALEstimate"
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"): 
accessor function for slot steps. 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"):
accessor function for slot ksteps; has additional argument
diff, defaulting to FALSE; if the latter is TRUE,
the starting value from slot startval is prepended as first column;
otherwise we return the corresponding increments in each step. 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"):
accessor function for slot uksteps; has additional argument
diff, defaulting to FALSE; if the latter is TRUE,
the starting value from slot ustartval is prepended as first column;
otherwise we return the corresponding increments in each step. 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"):
accessor function for slot start. 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"):
accessor function for slot startval. 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"):
accessor function for slot startval. 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"):
accessor function for slot ICList. 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"):
accessor function for slot pICList. 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"):
accessor function for slot robestCall. 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"):
accessor function for attribute "timings". 
signature(object = "kStepEstimate"): a show method;
