CLV Model providing model related functionalities

Objects of class clv.fitted contain an instance of class clv.model that is called whenever a model-related step is performed (Strategy pattern).

This class is the abstract parent class from which new clv models inherit. It implements only stubs (with stop()) for all methods that need to be implemented in order to obtain a functional clv.fitted object.

Slots

name.model

Name of the model as it should be displayed

fn.model.generic

Method (generic) to apply on (sub-class of) clv.data in order to fit the model.

names.original.params.model

character vector that defines the names of the model parameters as they should be reported

names.prefixed.params.model

character vector that defines the names of the model parameters as they are named during LL optimization

start.params.model

numeric vector of default values at original scale that should be used for the LL optimization if the user does not provide start parameters. Named with names.original.params.model.

optimx.defaults

list of default arguments for calling optimx with do.call. Named after the respective arguments in optimx.
