mlinvweibull {univariateML}

Inverse Weibull distribution maximum likelihood estimation

Description

The maximum likelihood estimate of shape and rate are calculated by calling mlweibull on the transformed data.

Usage

mlinvweibull(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

a (non-empty) numeric vector of data values.

na.rm

logical. Should missing values be removed?

...

passed to mlweibull.

Details

For the density function of the log normal distribution see InverseWeibull.

Value

mlinvweibull returns an object of class univariateML. This is a named numeric vector with maximum likelihood estimates for shape and rate and the following attributes:

model

The name of the model.

density

The density associated with the estimates.

logLik

The loglikelihood at the maximum.

support

The support of the density.

n

The number of observations.

call
