\begin{Description}\relax
Class of objects that result from calculating saddlepoint distribution
approximations by a call to \code{saddle.distn}.
\end{Description}
\begin{Section}{Generation}
This class of objects is returned from calls to the function
\code{\Link{saddle.distn}}.
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Methods}
The class \code{"saddle.distn"} has methods for the functions
\code{\Link{lines}} and \code{\Link{print}}.
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Structure}
Objects of class \code{"saddle.distn"} are implemented as a list with
the following components.

\item[quantiles] A matrix with 2 columns.  The first column contains the
probabilities \code{alpha} and the second column contains the
estimated quantiles of the distribution at those probabilities
derived from the spline.

\item[points] A matrix of evaluations of the saddlepoint approximation.  The first
column contains the values of \code{t} which were used, the second
and third contain the density and cdf approximations at those points
and the rest of the columns contain the solutions to the saddlepoint
equations.  When \code{type} is \code{"simp"}, there is only one of
those.  When \code{type} is \code{"cond"} there are \code{2*d-1}
where \code{d} is the number of columns in \code{A} or the output of
\code{A(t,...\{\})}. The first \code{d} of these correspond to the
numerator and the remainder correspond to the denominator.

\item[distn] An object of class \code{smooth.spline}.  This corresponds to the
spline fitted to the saddlepoint cdf approximations in points in
order to approximate the entire distribution.  For the structure of
the object see \code{smooth.spline}.

\item[call] The original call to \code{saddle.distn} which generated the object.

\item[LR] A logical variable indicating whether the Lugananni-Rice
approximations were used.
