Expert Library Classes

This is the library of all the Expert Functions. In another word, it stored all the metadata of the Expert Functions. This object is a singleton, which means it should be only created when the package is loaded. It is also hidden in the global environment. Please do not clear the hidden objects And it you cleared the hidden objects. Please reload the package to fix that.

This is the matrix class of Expert Functions. Users are expected to perform all vector operations through ExpertMatrix to reduce index errors.

Method set_penalty_params()

Usage

ExpertMatrix$set_penalty_params(expert_penalty_params_matrix)

Arguments

expert_penalty_params_matrix

(matrix) To be more specific, it is a matrix of list like this

penalty_params = matrix( list( c(2,1,2), c(1,1,1), c(3,1,2), c(1,3,4)), nrow = 2) set the parameters for all the expert functions
