onesided Bias Type
Class of onesided bias types.
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("onesidedBias", ...).
More frequently they are created via the generating function
positiveBias or negativeBias.
nameObject of class "character".
signObject of class "numeric";
to be in {-1,1} — whether bias is to be positive or negative
signature(object = "onesidedBias"):
accessor function for slot sign.
signature(object = "onesidedBias", value = "numeric"):
replacement function for slot sign.
Class "BiasType", directly.

positiveBias()
## The function is currently defined as
function(){ new("onesidedBias", name = "positive Bias", sign = 1) }
negativeBias()
## The function is currently defined as
function(){ new("onesidedBias", name = "negative Bias", sign = -1) }
pB <- positiveBias()
sign(pB)
try(sign(pB) <- -2) ## error
sign(pB) <- -1Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
