#' @title Maximum Product of Spacing Fit of Univariate Distributions.
#' @description Fit of univariate distributions for non-censored data using
#' maximum product of spacing estimation (mpse), also called maximum spacing
#' estimation.
#' @rdname mpsedist
#' @name mpsedist
#'
#' @details The \code{mpsedist} function carries out the maximum product of
#' spacing estimation numerically, by maximization of the arithmetic mean of
#' \eqn{\log(F(k) - F(k-1))}.
#'
#' The optimization process is the same as
#' \code{\link{mledist}}, see the 'details' section of that
#' function.
#'
#' Optionally, a vector of \code{weights} can be used in the fitting process.
#' By default (when \code{weigths=NULL}), ordinary mpse is carried out,
#' otherwise the specified weights are used to compute a weighted arithmetic
#' mean.
#'
#' We believe this function should be added to the package
#' \code{\link{fitdistrplus}}. Until it is accepted and incorporated into that
#' package, it will remain in the package \code{\link{BMT}}. This function is
#' internally called in \code{\link{BMTfit.mpse}}.
#'
#' @param data A numeric vector with the observed values for non-censored data.
#' @param distr A character string \code{"name"} naming a distribution for which
#' the corresponding density function \code{dname} and the corresponding
#' distribution function \code{pname} must be classically defined.
#' @param start A named list giving the initial values of parameters of the
#' named distribution or a function of data computing initial values and
#' returning a named list. This argument may be omitted (default) for some
#' distributions for which reasonable starting values are computed (see the
#' 'details' section of \code{\link{mledist}}).
#' @param fix.arg An optional named list giving the values of fixed parameters
#' of the named distribution or a function of data computing (fixed) parameter
#' values and returning a named list. Parameters with fixed value are thus NOT
#' estimated.
#' @param optim.method \code{"default"} (see details) or an optimization method
#' to pass to \code{\link{optim}}.
#' @param lower Left bounds on the parameters for the \code{"L-BFGS-B"} method
#' (see \code{\link{optim}}) or the \code{\link{constrOptim}} function (as an
#' equivalent linear constraint).
#' @param upper Right bounds on the parameters for the \code{"L-BFGS-B"} method
#' (see \code{\link{optim}}) or the \code{\link{constrOptim}} function (as an
#' equivalent linear constraint).
#' @param custom.optim A function carrying the optimization (see details).
#' @param weights An optional vector of weights to be used in the fitting
#' process. Should be \code{NULL} or a numeric vector with strictly positive
#' numbers. If non-\code{NULL}, weighted mpse is used, otherwise ordinary
#' mpse.
#' @param silent A logical to remove or show warnings when bootstraping.
#' @param gradient A function to return the gradient of the optimization
#' objective function for the \code{"BFGS"}, \code{"CG"} and \code{"L-BFGS-B"}
#' methods. If it is \code{NULL}, a finite-difference approximation will be
#' used, see \code{\link{optim}}.
#' @param \dots Further arguments passed to the \code{\link{optim}},
#' \code{\link{constrOptim}} or \code{custom.optim} function.
#'
#' @return \code{mpsedist} returns a list with following components,
#'
#' \item{estimate}{ the parameter estimates.}
#'
#' \item{convergence}{ an integer code for the convergence of
#' \code{\link{optim}} defined as below or defined by the user in the
#' user-supplied optimization function.
#'
#' \code{0} indicates successful convergence.
#'
#' \code{1} indicates that the iteration limit of \code{\link{optim}} has been
#' reached.
#'
#' \code{10} indicates degeneracy of the Nealder-Mead simplex.
#'
#' \code{100} indicates that \code{\link{optim}} encountered an internal
#' error. }
#'
#' \item{value}{ the value of the optimization objective function at the solution found. }
#'
#' \item{loglik}{ the log-likelihood. }
#'
#' \item{hessian}{ a symmetric matrix computed by \code{\link{optim}} as an
#' estimate of the Hessian at the solution found or computed in the
#' user-supplied optimization function. }
#'
#' \item{optim.function }{ the name of the optimization function used. }
#'
#' \item{fix.arg}{ the named list giving the values of parameters of the named
#' distribution that must kept fixed rather than estimated by maximum
#' likelihood or \code{NULL} if there are no such parameters. }
#'
#' \item{optim.method}{when \code{\link{optim}} is used, the name of the
#' algorithm used, \code{NULL} otherwise.}
#'
#' \item{fix.arg.fun}{the function used to set the value of \code{fix.arg} or
#' \code{NULL}.}
#'
#' \item{weights}{the vector of weigths used in the estimation process or
#' \code{NULL}.}
#'
#' \item{counts}{A two-element integer vector giving the number of calls to
#' the log-likelihood function and its gradient respectively. This excludes
#' those calls needed to compute the Hessian, if requested, and any calls to
#' log-likelihood function to compute a finite-difference approximation to the
#' gradient. \code{counts} is returned by \code{\link{optim}} or the
#' user-supplied optimization function, or set to \code{NULL}.}
#'
#' \item{optim.message}{A character string giving any additional information
#' returned by the optimizer, or \code{NULL}. To understand exactly the
#' message, see the source code.}
