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.
