onesidedBias-class: onesided Bias Type

Description

Class of onesided bias types.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("onesidedBias", ...). More frequently they are created via the generating function positiveBias or negativeBias.

Extends

Examples

positiveBias()
## The function is currently defined as
function(){ new("onesidedBias", name = "positive Bias", sign = 1) }

negativeBias()
## The function is currently defined as
function(){ new("onesidedBias", name = "negative Bias", sign = -1) }

pB <- positiveBias()
sign(pB)
try(sign(pB) <- -2) ## error
sign(pB) <- -1
