extract: Extract or Replace parameters of a hyperdirichlet object

In hyperdirichlet: A Generalization of the Dirichlet Distribution

Description

Methods for "[" and "[<-", i.e., extraction or subsetting of hyperdirichlet objects.

Arguments

x	Object of class hyperdirichlet
i	elements to extract or replace
value	replacement value

Value

Always returns an object of class hyperdirichlet.

Methods

• x[i]

• x[i] <- value

Note

The replacement method “[<-” invokes the validity checking method .hd.valid() by default; this may be time-consuming for hyperdirichlet objects of high dimension.

Users may use the functional form for replacement to override this behaviour; the method takes recalculate and a validated arguments, defaulting to FALSE, that may be set if desired.

a[5] <- 1.2

## Not run: 
a <- as.hyperdirichlet(a, TRUE)  # recommended way to calculate NC
