VarCovar-class: Class "VarCovar" and its subclasses
Description
Objects of class "VarCovar" and its subclasses
"CovarianceMatrix" and "Variance" represent the covariance and
variance, respectively, of the linear statistic.
Objects from the Class
Class "VarCovar" is a virtual class defined as the class union
of "CovarianceMatrix" and "Variance", so objects cannot be
created from it directly. Objects can be created by calls of the form new("CovarianceMatrix", covariance, \dots)
and new("Variance", variance, \dots).
where covariance is a covariance matrix and variance is numeric
vector containing the diagonal elements of the covariance matrix.Slots
For objects of class "CovarianceMatrix":
covariance:-
Object of class
"matrix". The covariance matrix.
For objects of class "Variance":
variance:-
Object of class
"numeric". The diagonal elements of the
covariance matrix.
