Class ParamType

java.lang.Object

edu.cmu.tetrad.sem.ParamType

All Implemented Interfaces:

TetradSerializable, Serializable

public class ParamType
extends Object
implements TetradSerializable

A typesafe enum of the types of the types of freeParameters for SEM models (COEF, MEAN, VAR, COVAR). COEF freeParameters are edge coefficients in the linear SEM model; VAR parmaeters are variances among the error terms; COVAR freeParameters are (non-variance) covariances among the error terms.
