validate_IntegrableFunction: Validator for S3 class 'IntegrableFunction'
In hericks/KDE: Kernel Density Estimation

Description Usage Arguments Details Special Attention See Also

This function serves as a validator for the S3 class IntegrableFunction. See 'Details' for further information and potential flaws.

1	validate_IntegrableFunction(x)

`x`	an `R` object to validate as object of S3 class `IntegrableFunction`.

The validator validate_IntegrableFunction can be used to verify objects as formally correct S3 objects of class IntegrableFunction. In particular the formal structure is ensured. Additionally this function tries to (see 'Special Attention') validate the additional conditions of valid integrable functions as specified in the first 'Details'-paragraph of IntegrableFunction.

Like all numerical routines, validate_IntegrableFunction can evaluate the represented function on a finite set of points. If the represented function returns valid results over nearly all its range, it is possible that the validator misses unexpected/wrong return values. Thus, using IntegrableFunction or validate_IntegrableFunction to construct and validate objects representing integrable functions is not sufficient to ensure the properties listed in the first 'Details'-paragraph of IntegrableFunction, but serves more as a sanity-check.
