Interval Data Class

Source: R/intData_class.r
intData-class.Rd

A class to represent interval data.

Slots

Centers

A data frame of centers of the intervals.

Ranges

A data frame of ranges of the intervals.

LatentParam

A list with the parameters of the latent variables.

LatentCase

A string specifying which of the three scenarios applies to the latent variables:

  • "General": The case where the latent variables do not have any nice properties.

  • "U_id": The case where the latent variables are identically distributed.

  • "U_id_symmetric": The case where the latent variables are identically distributed and symmetric.

Defaults to "U_id_symmetric".

LatentDist

A string or vector of strings specifying the distribution(s) of the latent variables. If the variables are identically distributed it can be one of ("Unif","Triang","TNorm","InvTri","Beta","KDE","Degenerated"), if not, it is a vector with the distribution for each variable.

ObsNames

A character vector of observation names.

VarNames

A character vector of variable names.

NObs

A numeric value indicating the number of observations.

NIVar

A numeric value indicating the number of interval variables.

NbMicroUnits

An integer indicating the number of micro units.
