\title{Class "NbinomParameter"}
\description{ The parameter of a negative binomial distribution, used by Nbinom-class}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("NbinomParameter", prob, size)}.
Usually an object of this class is not needed on its own, it is generated automatically when an object of the class Nbinom
is prepared.
}
\section{Slots}{
\describe{
\item{\code{prob}}{Object of class \code{"numeric"}: the probability of a negative binomial distribution }
\item{\code{size}}{Object of class \code{"numeric"}: the size of a negative binomial distribution }
\item{\code{name}}{Object of class \code{"character"}: a name / comment for the parameters }
}
}
\section{Extends}{
Class \code{"Parameter"}, directly.
}
\section{Methods}{
\describe{
\item{initialize}{\code{signature(.Object = "NbinomParameter")}: initialize method }
\item{prob}{\code{signature(object = "NbinomParameter")}: returns the slot \code{prob} of the parameter of the
distribution }
\item{prob<-}{\code{signature(object = "NbinomParameter")}: modifies the slot \code{prob} of the parameter of the
distribution }
\item{size}{\code{signature(object = "NbinomParameter")}: returns the slot \code{size} of the parameter of the distribution }
\item{size<-}{\code{signature(object = "NbinomParameter")}: modifies the slot \code{size} of the parameter of the
distribution }
}
