minmax0_smooth: Smooth approximations to max(x, 0) and min(x, 0)

In LaMa: Fast Numerical Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Latent Markov Models

Smooth approximations to max(x, 0) and min(x, 0)

Description

Smooth approximations to max(x, 0) and min(x, 0)

Usage

max0_smooth(x, rho = 20)

min0_smooth(x, rho = 20)

Arguments

x	a vector of values
rho	smoothing parameter, larger values lead to closer approximation

Value

the approximate maximum or minimum of x and 0

Examples

x <- seq(-1, 1, by = 0.1)
min0_smooth(x)
max0_smooth(x)
