ei_compare-class: Class '"ei_compare"'

In eiCompare: Compares Different Ecological Inference Methods

Class "ei_compare"

Description

An S4 class object stemming from ei_rc_good_table(), used for plotting, and examining comparison results.

Objects from the Class

Objects can, in principle, be created by calls of the form new("ei_compare", ...). However, the preferred form is to have them called ei_rc_good_table()
