Description

The parameter of a geometric distribution, used by Geom-class

Objects from the Class

Objects were created by calls of the form new("GeomParameter", prob). Usually an object of this class was not needed on its own, it was generated automatically when an object of the class Geom is instantiated.

Slots

prob

Object of class "numeric": the probability of a geometric distribution

name

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

Extends

Class "Parameter", directly.

Methods

initialize

signature(.Object = "GeomParameter"): initialize method

prob

signature(object = "GeomParameter"): returns the slot prob of the parameter of the distribution

prob<-

signature(object = "GeomParameter"): modifies the slot prob of the parameter of the distribution

Defunct

The use of class GeomParameter is defunct as of version 2.8.0; it is to be replaced by a corresponding use of class NbinomParameter with slot size = 1 which may be generated, e.g. by new("NbinomParameter", prob, size = 1, name = "Parameter of a Geometric distribution")
