LM-class {melt}

LM class

Description

S4 class for linear models with empirical likelihood. It inherits from CEL class.

Details

The overall test involves a constrained optimization problem. All the parameters except for the intercept are constrained to zero. The optim slot contains the results. When there is no intercept, all parameters are set to zero, and the results need to be understood in terms of EL class since no constrained optimization is involved. Once the solution is found, the log probabilities (logp) and the (constrained) empirical likelihood values (logl, loglr, statistic) readily follow, along with the degrees of freedom (df) and the p-value (pval). The significance tests for each parameter also involve constrained optimization problems where only one parameter is constrained to zero. The sigTests slot contains the results.

Methods (by generic)

• formula(LM): Extracts the symbolic model formula used in el_lm() or el_glm().

Slots

sigTests
