Estimate-class: Estimate-class.

Description

Class of estimates.

Arguments

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("Estimate", ...). More frequently they are created via the generating function Estimator.

Details for methods show, print

Detailedness of output by methods show, print is controlled by the global option show.details to be set by distrModoptions. As method show is used when inspecting an object by typing the object's name into the console, show comes without extra arguments and hence detailedness must be controlled by global options. Method print may be called with a (partially matched) argument show.details, and then the global option is temporarily set to this value. More specifically, when show.detail is matched to "minimal" you will be shown only the name/type of the estimator, the value of its main part, and, if present, the corresponding standard errors, as well as, also if present, the value of the nuisance part. When show.detail is matched to "medium", you will in addition see the class of the estimator, its call and its sample-size and, if present, the fixed part of the parameter and the asymptotic covariance matrix. Also the information gathered in the Infos slot is shown. Finally, when show.detail is matched to "maximal", and if, in addition, you estimate non-trivial (i.e. not the identity) transformation of the parameter of the parametric family, you will also be shown this transformation in form of its function and its derivative matrix at the estimated parameter value, as well as the estimator (with standard errors, if present) and (again, if present) the corresponding asymptotic covariance of the untransformed, total (i.e. main and nuisance part) parameter.
