loglogistic4_gradient_2 {drda}R Documentation

4-parameter log-logistic function gradient and Hessian

Description

Evaluate at a particular set of parameters the gradient and Hessian of the 4-parameter log-logistic function.

Usage

loglogistic4_gradient_2(x, theta)

loglogistic4_hessian_2(x, theta)

loglogistic4_gradient_hessian_2(x, theta)

Arguments

x

numeric vector at which the function is to be evaluated.

theta

numeric vector with the four parameters in the form c(alpha, delta, eta, phi).

Details

The 4-parameter log-logistic function ⁠f(x; theta)⁠ is defined here as

⁠g(x; theta) = x^eta / (x^eta + phi^eta)⁠ ⁠f(x; theta) = alpha + delta g(x; theta)⁠

where x >= 0, theta = c(alpha, delta, eta, phi, nu), eta > 0, and phi > 0.

This set of functions use a different parameterization from link[drda]{loglogistic4_gradient}. To avoid the non-negative constraints of parameters, the gradient and Hessian computed here are for the function with eta2 = log(eta) and phi2 = log(phi).

Note that argument theta is on the original scale and not on the log scale.

Value

Gradient or Hessian of the alternative parameterization evaluated at the specified point.
