InternalReturnClasses-class: Internal return classes for generating functions

Description

internal return classes for generating functions 'L2ParamFamily' and 'L2LocationFamily' (and friends); used for particular method dispatch only

Arguments

Described classes

In this file we describe classes BinomFamily, PoisFamily, GammaFamily, BetaFamily, and class GParetoFamily ``extending'' (no new slots!) class L2ParamFamily (the latter via L2ScaleShapeUnion), class NormLocationFamily, class CauchyLocationFamily ``extending'' (no new slots!) class "L2LocationFamily", classes NormScaleFamily, ExpScaleFamily, and LnormScaleFamily ``extending'' (no new slots!) class "L2ScaleFamily", and classes CauchyLocationScaleFamily, LogisticLocationScaleFamily and NormLocationScaleFamily, ``extending'' (no new slots!) class "L2LocationScaleFamily".

Objects from these classes

Objects are only generated internally by the mentioned generating functions.

Slots

name:: [inherited from class "ProbFamily"] object of class "character": name of the family.
distribution:: [inherited from class "ProbFamily"] object of class "Distribution": member of the family.
distrSymm:: [inherited from class "ProbFamily"] object of class "DistributionSymmetry": symmetry of distribution.
param:: [inherited from class "ParamFamily"] object of class "ParamFamParameter": parameter of the family.
fam.call:: [inherited from class "ParamFamily"] object of class "call": call by which parametric family was produced.
makeOKPar:: [inherited from class "ParamFamily"] object of class "function": has argument param --- the (total) parameter, returns valid parameter; used if optim resp. optimize--- try to use ``illegal'' parameter values; then makeOKPar makes a valid parameter value out of the illegal one.
startPar:: [inherited from class "ParamFamily"] object of class "function": has argument x --- the data, returns starting parameter for optim resp. optimize--- a starting estimator in case parameter is multivariate or a search interval in case parameter is univariate.
modifyParam:: [inherited from class "ParamFamily"] object of class "function": mapping from the parameter space (represented by "param") to the distribution space (represented by "distribution").
props:: [inherited from class "ProbFamily"] object of class "character": properties of the family.
L2deriv:: [inherited from class "L2ParamFamily"] object of class "EuclRandVariable": L2 derivative of the family.
L2deriv.fct:: [inherited from class "L2ParamFamily"] object of class "function": mapping from the parameter space (argument param of class "ParamFamParameter") to a mapping from observation x to the value of the L2derivative; L2deriv.fct is then used from observation x to value of the L2derivative; L2deriv.fct is used by modifyModel to move the L2deriv according to a change in the parameter
L2derivSymm:: [inherited from class "L2ParamFamily"] object of class "FunSymmList": symmetry of the maps included in L2deriv.
L2derivDistr:: [inherited from class "L2ParamFamily"] object of class "UnivarDistrList": list which includes the distribution of L2deriv.
L2derivDistrSymm:: [inherited from class "L2ParamFamily"] object of class "DistrSymmList": symmetry of the distributions included in L2derivDistr.
FisherInfo.fct:: [inherited from class "L2ParamFamily"] object of class "function": mapping from the parameter space (argument param of class "ParamFamParameter") to the set of positive semidefinite matrices; FisherInfo.fct is used by modifyModel to move the Fisher information according to a change in the parameter
FisherInfo:: [inherited from class "L2ParamFamily"] object of class "PosDefSymmMatrix": Fisher information of the family.
LogDeriv:: (only loc/scale classes)[inherited from class "L2GroupParamFamily"] object of class "function": has argument x; the negative logarithmic derivative of the density of the model distribution at the "standard" parameter value.
locscalename:: (only loc/scale classes)[inherited from class "L2LocationScaleUnion"] object of class "character": names of location and scale parameter.
scaleshapename:: (only scale/shape classes)[inherited from class "L2ScaleShapeUnion"] object of class "character": names of location and scale parameter.
