VirtualSampleControl-class: Class "VirtualSampleControl"

Description

Virtual superclass for controlling the setup of samples.

Objects from the Class

A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

Slots

k:

Object of class "numeric", a single positive integer giving the number of samples to be set up.

Extends

Class "'>OptSampleControl", directly.

Accessor and mutator methods

getK

signature(x = "VirtualSampleControl"): get slot k.

setK

signature(x = "VirtualSampleControl"): set slot k.

Methods

clusterRunSimulation

signature(cl = "ANY", x = "data.frame", setup = "VirtualSampleControl", nrep = "missing", control = "SimControl"): run a simulation experiment on a cluster.

clusterRunSimulation

signature(cl = "ANY", x = "VirtualDataControl", setup = "VirtualSampleControl", nrep = "numeric", control = "SimControl"): run a simulation experiment on a cluster.

draw

signature(x = "data.frame", setup = "VirtualSampleControl"): draw a sample.

head

signature(x = "VirtualSampleControl"): currently returns the object itself.

length

signature(x = "VirtualSampleControl"): get the number of samples to be set up.

runSimulation

signature(x = "data.frame", setup = "VirtualSampleControl", nrep = "missing", control = "SimControl"): run a simulation experiment.

runSimulation

signature(x = "VirtualDataControl", setup = "VirtualSampleControl", nrep = "numeric", control = "SimControl"): run a simulation experiment.

runSimulation

signature(x = "VirtualDataControl", setup = "VirtualSampleControl", nrep = "missing", control = "SimControl"): run a simulation experiment.

show

signature(object = "VirtualSampleControl"): print the object on the R console.

summary

signature(object = "VirtualSampleControl"): currently returns the object itself.

tail

signature(x = "VirtualSampleControl"): currently returns the object itself.
