print.distChooseCensored

Print Output of Goodness-of-Fit Tests

Description

Formats and prints the results of calling the function distChooseCensored, which uses a series of goodness-of-fit tests to choose among candidate distributions based on censored data. This method is automatically called by print when given an object of class "distChooseCensored".

Usage

## S3 method for class 'distChooseCensored'
print(x, show.cen.levels = TRUE, 
  pct.censored.digits = .Options$digits, ...)

Arguments

`x`	an object of class `"distChoose"`. See `distChoose.object` for details.
`show.cen.levels`	logical scalar indicating whether to print the censoring levels. The default is `show.cen.levels=TRUE`.
`pct.censored.digits`	numeric scalar indicating the number of significant digits to print for the percent of censored observations.
`...`	arguments that can be supplied to the `format` function.

Details

This is the "distChooseCensored" method for the generic function print. Prints the candidate distributions, method used to choose among the candidate distributions, chosen distribution, Type I error associated with each goodness-of-fit test, estimated population parameter(s) associated with the chosen distribution, estimation method, goodness-of-fit test results for each candidate distribution, and the data name and censoring variable.

Value

Invisibly returns the input x.
