PMLE.SEF3.positive {double.truncation}R Documentation

Parametric Inference for the three-parameter SEF model (positive parameter space for eta_3)

Description

Maximum likelihood estimates and their standard errors (SEs) are computed. Also computed are the likelihood value, AIC, and other qnantities.

Usage

PMLE.SEF3.positive(u.trunc, y.trunc, v.trunc, tau2 = max(y.trunc),
 epsilon = 1e-04, D1=20, D2=10, D3=1, d1=6, d2=0.5)

Arguments

u.trunc

lower truncation limit

y.trunc

variable of interest

v.trunc

upper truncation limit

tau2

upper support

epsilon

error tolerance for Newton-Raphson

D1

Divergence condition for eta_1

D2

Divergence condition of eta_2

D3

Divergence condition of eta_3

d1

Range of randomization for eta_1

d2

Range of randomization for eta_2

Details
