IdtMxSNDE-class: Class IdtMxSNDE

In MAINT.Data: Model and Analyse Interval Data

Class IdtMxSNDE

Description

IdtMxSNDE contains the results of a mixture model estimation for the Skew-Normal model, with the four different possible variance-covariance configurations.

Slots

Hmcdt:

Indicates whether we consider an homoscedastic location model (TRUE) or a general model (FALSE)

CovConfCases:

List of the considered configurations

grouping:

Inherited from class IdtMxE. Factor indicating the group to which each observation belongs to

ModelNames:

Inherited from class IdtE. The model acronym, indicating the model type (currently, N for Normal and SN for Skew-Normal), and the configuration (Case 1 through Case 4)

ModelType:

Inherited from class IdtE. Indicates the model; currently, Gaussian or Skew-Normal distributions are implemented

ModelConfig:

Inherited from class IdtE. Configuration case of the variance-covariance matrix: Case 1 through Case 4

NIVar:

Inherited from class IdtE. Number of interval variables

SelCrit:

Inherited from class IdtE. The model selection criterion; currently, AIC and BIC are implemented

logLiks:

Inherited from class IdtE. The logarithms of the likelihood function for the different cases

AICs:

Inherited from class IdtE. Value of the AIC criterion

BICs:

Inherited from class IdtE. Value of the BIC criterion

BestModel:

Inherited from class IdtE. Indicates the best model according to the chosen selection criterion

SngD:

Inherited from class IdtE. Boolean flag indicating whether a single or a mixture of distribution were estimated. Always set to FALSE in objects of class IdtMxSNDE

Ngrps:

Inherited from class IdtMxE. Number of mixture components

Extends

Class IdtMxE, directly. Class IdtE, by class IdtMxE, distance 2.
