colbeta.mle: Column-wise MLE of some univariate distributions

In Compositional: Compositional Data Analysis

Column-wise MLE of some univariate distributions

Description

Column-wise MLE of some univariate distributions.

Usage

colbeta.est(x, tol = 1e-07, maxiters = 100, parallel = FALSE)
collogitnorm.est(x)
colunitweibull.est(x, tol = 1e-07, maxiters = 100, parallel = FALSE)
colzilogitnorm.est(x)

Arguments

x	A numerical matrix with data. Each column refers to a different vector of observations of the same distribution. The values must by percentages, exluding 0 and 1,
tol	The tolerance value to terminate the Newton-Fisher algorithm.
maxiters	The maximum number of iterations to implement.
parallel	Do you want to calculations to take place in parallel? The default value is FALSE

Details

For each column, the same distribution is fitted and its parameters and log-likelihood are computed.

Value

A matrix with two, three or four columns. The first one, two or three columns contain the parameter(s) of the distribution, while the last column contains the relevant log-likelihood.
