IC: Generating function for IC-class

Description

Generates an object of class "IC".

Usage

IC(name, Curve = EuclRandVarList(RealRandVariable(Map = list(function(x){x}), 
                                        Domain = Reals())), 
   Risks, Infos, CallL2Fam = call("L2ParamFamily"))

Arguments

name

Object of class "character".

CallL2Fam

object of class "call": creates an object of the underlying L2-differentiable parametric family.

Curve

object of class "EuclRandVarList".

Risks

object of class "list": list of risks; cf. RiskType-class.

Infos

matrix of characters with two columns named method and message: additional informations.

Value

Object of class "IC"
