SaemixObject-class function

Class "SaemixObject"

An object of the SaemixObject class, storing the input to saemix, and the results obtained by a call to the SAEM algorithm class

Details

Details of the algorithm can be found in the pdf file accompanying the package.

Objects from the Class

An object of the SaemixObject class is created after a call to saemix and contain the following slots:

• data:: Object of class "SaemixData": saemix dataset, created by a call to saemixData
• model:: Object of class "SaemixModel": saemix model, created by a call to saemixModel
• results:: Object of class "SaemixData": saemix dataset, created by a call to saemixData
• rep.data:: Object of class "SaemixRepData": (internal) replicated saemix dataset, used the execution of the algorithm
• sim.data:: Object of class "SaemixSimData": simulated saemix dataset
• options:: Object of class "list": list of settings for the algorithm
• prefs:: Object of class "list": list of graphical options for the graphs

Methods

• [<-: signature(x = "SaemixObject"): replace elements of object
• [: signature(x = "SaemixObject"): access elements of object
• initialize: signature(.Object = "SaemixObject"): internal function to initialise object, not to be used
• plot: signature(x = "SaemixObject"): plot the data
• print: signature(x = "SaemixObject"): prints details about the object (more extensive than show)
• showall: signature(object = "SaemixObject"): shows all the elements in the object
• show: signature(object = "SaemixObject"): prints details about the object
• summary: signature(object = "SaemixObject"): summary of the object. Returns a list with a number of elements extracted from the object.
