Local_LL {logcondens}

Value of the Log-Likelihood Function L, where Input is in Phi-Parametrization

Description

Gives the value of

L(\phi) = \sum_{i=1}^m w_i \phi(x_i) - \int_{x_1}^{x_m} \exp(\phi(t)) dt.

Usage

Local_LL(x, w, phi)

Arguments

x

Vector of independent and identically distributed numbers, with strictly increasing entries.

w

Optional vector of nonnegative weights corresponding to {\bold{x}_m}.

phi

Some vector {\bold{\phi}} of the same length as {\bold{x}} and {\bold{w}}.

Value

Value L=L({\bold{\phi}}) of the log-likelihood function is returned.

Note

This function is not intended to be invoked by the end user.
