summary.maxlogL: Summarize Maximum Likelihood Estimation

In EstimationTools: Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Probability Functions from Data Sets

Summarize Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Description

Displays maximum likelihood estimates computed with maxlogL with its standard errors, AIC and BIC. This is a summary method for maxlogL object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'maxlogL'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object	an object of maxlogL class which summary is desired.
...	additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Details

This summary method computes and displays AIC, BIC, estimates and standard errors from a estimated model stored i a maxlogL class object. It also displays and computes Z-score and p values of significance test of parameters.

Value

A list with information that summarize results of a maxlogL class object.

Examples

library(EstimationTools)

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
### First example: One known parameter

x <- rnorm(n = 10000, mean = 160, sd = 6)
theta_1 <- maxlogL(x = x, dist = 'dnorm', control = list(trace = 1),
                 link = list(over = "sd", fun = "log_link"),
                 fixed = list(mean = 160))
summary(theta_1)


#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Second example: Binomial probability parameter estimation with variable
# creation

N <- rbinom(n = 100, size = 10, prob = 0.3)
phat <- maxlogL(x = N, dist = 'dbinom', fixed = list(size = 10),
                link = list(over = "prob", fun = "logit_link"))

## Standard error calculation method
print(phat$outputs$StdE_Method)

## 'summary' method
summary(phat)

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Third example: Binomial probability parameter estimation with no variable
# creation

N <- rbinom(n = 100, size = 10, prob = 0.3)
summary(maxlogL(x = N, dist = 'dbinom', fixed = list(size = 10),
                link = list(over = "prob", fun = "logit_link")))

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Fourth example: Estimation in a regression model with simulated normal data
n <- 1000
x <- runif(n = n, -5, 6)
y <- rnorm(n = n, mean = -2 + 3 * x, sd = exp(1 + 0.3* x))
norm_data <- data.frame(y = y, x = x)
formulas <- list(sd.fo = ~ x, mean.fo = ~ x)

norm_mod <- maxlogLreg(formulas, y_dist = y ~ dnorm, data = norm_data,
                       link = list(over = "sd", fun = "log_link"))

## 'summary' method
summary(norm_mod)
