Class for storing the results of estimating parameters of stable laws, output of function Estim().

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("Estim", par, ...). Users can provide some (or all) of the inputs stated below to create an object from this class or call function Estim with appropriate arguments.

Slots

par:

numeric(4), values of the 4 estimated parameters.

par0:

numeric(4), initial values for the 4 parameters.

vcov:

object of class "matrix" (4 x 4), representing the covariance matrix of the estimated parameters.

confint:

object of class "matrix" (4 x 4), representing the confidence interval computed at a specific level (attribute of the object).

data:

numeric(), the data used to compute the estimates.

sampleSize:

numeric(1), length of the data.

others:

list(), further information about the estimation method.

duration:

numeric(1), duration in seconds.

failure:

numeric(1), represents the status of the procedure: 0 failure or 1 success.

method:

Object of class "character", description of the parameters used in the estimation.
