head.randportBurSt {PortfolioProbe}R Documentation

Portion of a Random Portfolio Object

Description

Returns the first few random portfolios or the last few random portfolios.

Usage

head.randportBurSt(x, n = 6)
tail.randportBurSt(x, n = 6)

Arguments

x an object of class randportBurSt (often created by random.portfolio).
n the number of items to select (this is the argument to the default method). This can be a negative number if the default method that is visible allows it.

Value

an object like the input x but shorter (usually).

Details

These are methods of the generic functions head and tail. The output of these functions retains the class attribute. In contrast, regular subscripting will lose the class and the result will be a plain list.
