MLE for multivariate discrete data

Description

MLE for multivariate discrete data.

Usage

multinom.mle(x)
dirimultinom.mle(x, tol = 1e-07) 
colpoisson.mle(x)
colgeom.mle(x, type = 1)

Arguments

x

A matrix with discrete valued non negative data.

tol

the tolerance level to terminate the Newton-Raphson algorithm for the Dirichlet multinomial distribution.

type

This is for the geometric distribution only. Type 1 refers to the case where the minimum is zero and type 2 for the case of the minimum being 1.

Details

For the Poisson and geometric distributions we simply fit independent Poisson and geometric distributions respectively.

Value

A list including:

loglik

A vector with the value of the maximised log-likelihood.

param

A vector of the parameters.
