intliz {bvpa}

Initialization of Block-Basu Bivariate Pareto (BBBVPA) distribution

Description

Return initial choice parameters of BBBVPA distribution.

Usage

  data,
  ini.run = 100,
  tol.ini = 0.001,
  proc = "ML",
  intv.s1 = c(0, 5),

  intv.a0 = c(0, 5),
  intv.a1 = c(0, 5),
  intv.a2 = c(0, 5),
  ...
)
