distrMod (version 2.9.4)

distrMod-package: distrMod -- Object Oriented Implementation of Probability Models

Description

Based on the packages distr and distrEx package distrMod provides a flexible framework which allows computation of estimators like maximum likelihood or minimum distance estimators for probability models.

Start-up-Banner

You may suppress the start-up banner/message completely by setting options("StartupBanner"="off") somewhere before loading this package by library or require in your R-code / R-session. If option "StartupBanner" is not defined (default) or setting options("StartupBanner"=NULL) or options("StartupBanner"="complete") the complete start-up banner is displayed. For any other value of option "StartupBanner" (i.e., not in c(NULL,"off","complete")) only the version information is displayed. The same can be achieved by wrapping the library or require call into either suppressStartupMessages() or onlytypeStartupMessages(.,atypes="version"). As for general packageStartupMessage's, you may also suppress all the start-up banner by wrapping the library or require call into suppressPackageStartupMessages() from startupmsg-version 0.5 on.

Demos

Demos are available --- see demo(package="distrMod").

Scripts

Example scripts are available --- see folder scripts in the package folder to package distrMod in your library.

Package versions

Note: The first two numbers of package versions do not necessarily reflect package-individual development, but rather are chosen for the distrXXX family as a whole in order to ease updating "depends" information.
