cpLogLik {GenEst}

Calculate the negative log-likelihood of a carcass persistence model

Description

The function used to calculate the negative-loglikelihood of a given carcass persistence model (cpm) with a given data set

Usage

cpLogLik(t1, t2, beta, nbeta_l, cellByCarc, cellMM, dataMM, dist)

Arguments

t1

last times observed present

t2

first times observed absent

beta

Parameters to be optimized.

nbeta_l

Number of parameters associated with l.

cellByCarc

Which cell each observation belongs to.

cellMM

Combined model matrix.

dataMM

Combined model matrix expanded to the data.

dist

Name of distribution.

Value

Negative log likelihood of the observations, given the parameters.
