A custom function to approximate a log likelihood function

Description

A custom function to approximate a log likelihood function

Usage

customFunction(x, mu, sigma, gamma)

Arguments

x	The log(hazard ratio) for which to approximate the log likelihood.
mu	The position parameter.
sigma	The scale parameter.
gamma	The skew parameter.

Details

A custom parametric function designed to approximate the shape of the Cox log likelihood function. When gamma = 0 this function is the normal distribution.

Value

The approximate log likelihood for the given x.

Examples

customFunction(x = 0:3, mu = 0, sigma = 1, gamma = 0)
