All constructor functions take a single input and build an object specific to
the needs of each model type within FIMS. FIMSFrame is the
parent class and the associated child classes have additional slots needed
for each model type.
Arguments
- data
A data.frame that contains the necessary columns to construct
a data frame of a given FIMSFrame-class.
Value
An object of the S4 class FIMSFrame or one of its child classes is
validated and then returned. All objects will at a minimum have a slot
called data to store the input data frame. Additional slots are dependent
on the child class. Use showClass() to see all available slots.
