perpendicularDistanceIZ: Generate Objects of Class "'perpendicularDistanceIZ'"

In sampSurf: Sampling Surface Simulation for Areal Sampling Methods

Description

This is the generic definition for generating objects of class "perpendicularDistanceIZ." There is only one constructor method corresponding to this generic: perpendicularDistanceIZ-methods.

Usage

perpendicularDistanceIZ(downLog, pds, ...)

Arguments

downLog	Signature object of class "downLog".
pds	Signature object of class "perpendicularDistance" containing the pertinent perpendicular distance sampling information.
...	See methods.

Details

Since only one method exists for this generic, its signature arguments coincide with the above definitions. Please see perpendicularDistanceIZ-methods for more details.

Value

A valid object of class "perpendicularDistanceIZ."
