Lists model equations, the summary as returned by summary.modFit, the chi2 error levels calculated according to FOCUS guidance (2006) as far as defined therein, and optionally the data, consisting of observed, predicted and residual values.

# S3 method for mkinfit
summary(object, data = TRUE, distimes = TRUE, alpha = 0.05, ...)
# S3 method for summary.mkinfit
print(x, digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 3), ...)

Arguments

object
an object of class mkinfit.
x
an object of class summary.mkinfit.
data
logical, indicating whether the data should be included in the summary.
distimes
logical, indicating whether DT50 and DT90 values should be included.
alpha
error level for confidence interval estimation from t distribution
digits
Number of digits to use for printing
…
optional arguments passed to methods like print.

Value

The summary function returns a list derived from summary.modFit, with components, among others

The print method is called for its side effect, i.e. printing the summary.
