A special attribute known as the class of the object is used toallow for an object-oriented style13 ofprogramming in R. For example if an object has class"data.frame", it will be printed in a certain way, theplot() function will display it graphically in a certain way, andother so-called generic functions such as summary() will react toit as an argument in a way sensitive to its class.
attach() is a generic function that allows not only directoriesand data frames to be attached to the search path, but other classes ofobject as well. In particular any object of mode "list" may beattached in the same way:
The class of an object determines how it will be treated by what areknown as generic functions. Put the other way round, a genericfunction performs a task or action on its arguments specific tothe class of the argument itself. If the argument lacks any classattribute, or has a class not catered for specifically by the genericfunction in question, there is always a default action provided.
An example makes things clearer. The class mechanism offers the userthe facility of designing and writing generic functions for specialpurposes. Among the other generic functions are plot() fordisplaying objects graphically, summary() for summarizinganalyses of various types, and anova() for comparing statisticalmodels.
Conversely the number of classes a generic function can handle can alsobe quite large. For example the plot() function has a defaultmethod and variants for objects of classes "data.frame","density", "factor", and more. A complete list can be gotagain by using the methods() function:
The value of lm() is a fitted model object; technically a list ofresults of class "lm". Information about the fitted model canthen be displayed, extracted, plotted and so on by using genericfunctions that orient themselves to objects of class "lm". Theseinclude
The model fitting function aov(formula,data=data.frame)operates at the simplest level in a very similar way to the functionlm(), and most of the generic functions listed in the table inGeneric functions for extracting model information apply.
Models are again specified in the ordinary linear model form. The modelfitting function is tree(),but many other generic functions such as plot() and text()are well adapted to displaying the results of a tree-based model fit ina graphical way.
The standard (or base) packages are considered part of the Rsource code. They contain the basic functions that allow R to work,and the datasets and standard statistical and graphical functions thatare described in this manual. They should be automatically available inany R installation. See Rpackages in R FAQ, for a complete list.
V/C ventilation is the simplest and most effective means of providing full mechanical ventilation. In this mode, each inspiratory effort beyond the set sensitivity threshold triggers delivery of the fixed tidal volume. If the patient does not trigger the ventilator frequently enough, the ventilator initiates a breath, ensuring the desired minimum respiratory rate.
In pressure support ventilation, a minimum rate is not set; all breaths are triggered by the patient. The ventilator assists the patient by delivering a pressure that continues at a constant level until the patient's inspiratory flow falls below a preset level determined by an algorithm. Thus, a longer or deeper inspiratory effort by the patient results in a larger tidal volume. This mode is commonly used to liberate patients from mechanical ventilation by letting them assume more of the work of breathing. However, no studies indicate that this approach is more successful than others in discontinuing mechanical ventilation.

If acute hypotension develops in a mechanically ventilated patient, particularly when it is accompanied by tachycardia and/or a sudden increase in peak inspiratory pressure, tension pneumothorax Pneumothorax (Tension) Tension pneumothorax is accumulation of air in the pleural space under pressure, compressing the lungs and decreasing venous return to the heart. (See also Overview of Thoracic Trauma.) Tension... read more must always be considered; patients with such findings should immediately have a chest examination and a chest x-ray (or immediate treatment if examination is confirmatory). More commonly, however, hypotension is a result of sympathetic lysis caused by sedatives or opioids used to facilitate intubation and ventilation. Hypotension can also be caused by decreased venous return due to high intrathoracic pressure in patients receiving high levels of PEEP or in those with high levels of intrinsic PEEP due to asthma or COPD. If there are no physical findings suggesting tension pneumothorax, and if ventilation-related causes of hypotension are a possible etiology, pending a portable chest x-ray, the patient may be disconnected from the ventilator and gently bagged manually at 2 to 3 breaths/minute with 100% oxygen while fluids are infused (eg, 500 to 1000 mL of 0.9% saline in adults, 20 mL/kg in children). An immediate improvement suggests a ventilation-related cause, and ventilator settings should be adjusted accordingly.
In this tutorial, we discuss many, but certainly not all, features ofscipy.stats. The intention here is to provide a user with aworking knowledge of this package. We refer to thereference manual for further details.
The performance of the individual methods, in terms of speed, varieswidely by distribution and method. The results of a method areobtained in one of two ways: either by explicit calculation, or by ageneric algorithm that is independent of the specific distribution.
The generic methods, on the other hand, are used if the distributiondoes not specify any explicit calculation. To define a distribution,only one of pdf or cdf is necessary; all other methods can be derivedusing numeric integration and root finding. However, these indirectmethods can be very slow. As an example, rgh =stats.gausshyper.rvs(0.5, 2, 2, 2, size=100) creates randomvariables in a very indirect way and takes about 19 seconds for 100random variables on my computer, while one million random variablesfrom the standard normal or from the t distribution take just aboveone second.
In both cases in the plot above, points are generated randomly without anyknowledge about previously drawn points. It is clear that some regions ofthe space are left unexplored - which can cause problems in simulations as aparticular set of points might trigger a totally different behaviour. 2ff7e9595c
