Weibull Log Likelihood Function

Description

The log likelihood of a Weibull density with data, x, shape and scale parameters.

Usage

likweibull(x, shape, scale = 1, log = TRUE)

Arguments

x

vector of quantiles.

shape

shape and scale parameters, the latter defaulting to 1.

scale

shape and scale parameters, the latter defaulting to 1.

log

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

Details

The log likelihood is the log of a function of parameters given the data.

Value

A numeric scalar for the log likelihood of the Weibull density given the data where shape and scale can be held constant or if vector were given vector will be returned.

Examples

likweibull(x = rweibull(n = 2, shape = 3),
        shape = 3)
