mlsged {univariateML}

Skew Generalized Error distribution maximum likelihood estimation

Description

Joint maximum likelihood estimation as implemented by fGarch::sgedFit.

Usage

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

Arguments

x

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

na.rm

logical. Should missing values be removed?

...

currently affects nothing.

Details

For the density function of the Student t-distribution see sged.

Value

mlsged returns an object of class univariateML. This is a named numeric vector with maximum likelihood estimates for the parameters mean, sd, nu, xi, 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

The call as captured my match.call
