ddSim
ObjectUtility function to format a distribution name and a vector of its parameter values
to a ddSim
object for use in the p/d/r/q family of functions
mpp2ddSim(distr, parms)
a ddSim object with srad = NA
character string giving the name of one of the models fit by
ddFit
vector of parameters for the distr
, or, alternatively, an array
of parameter sets. Parameterization may follow either the GLM format or the
distribution format. For example, the xep01 model (gamma distribution) has
GLM parameters for log(r)
and r
, which are the coefficients of
the polynomial in the xep01 format (namely, x * exp(b0*log(r) + b1*r)), or
the gamma distribution parameters, shape
and rate
. The
elements of parameter vector must be named. For example,
parms = c(log(r) = -0.373, r = -0.0147)
for the GLM format for an
xep01 model or, equivalently, parms = c(shape = 1.63, rate = 0.0147)
for the distribution format. If both formats are given, the GLM parameters
are used and the distribution parameters ignored.
