\title{Class "NormParameter"}
\description{ The parameter of a normal distribution, used by Norm-class}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("NormParameter", sd, mean)}.
Usually an object of this class is not needed on its own. It is the
mother-class of the class UniNormParameter, which is generated
automatically when such a distribution is instantiated.
}
\section{Slots}{
\describe{
\item{\code{sd}}{Object of class \code{"numeric"}: the sd of a normal distribution }
\item{\code{mean}}{Object of class \code{"numeric"}: the mean of a normal 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 = "NormParameter")}:
initialize method}
\item{mean}{\code{signature(object = "NormParameter")}:
returns the slot mean of the parameter of the distribution}
\item{mean<-}{\code{signature(object = "NormParameter")}:
modifies the slot mean of the parameter of the distribution}
\item{sd}{\code{signature(object = "NormParameter")}:
returns the slot sd of the parameter of the distribution}
\item{sd<-}{\code{signature(object = "NormParameter")}:
modifies the slot sd of the parameter of the distribution}
}
