Description

Compute the generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) for a specified value of the nuisance parameter.

Usage

1
gLRT(theta, mll, x, init, lowlim, uplim, null0)

Arguments

theta

A vector or scalar of the value of the nuisance parameter with respect to which the LRT is computed.

mll

A function specifying the negative (profile) log-likelihood. See details.

x

A vector or matrix collecting the data.

init

A vector or scalar of initial values for the MLE.

lowlim

A vector or scalar of lower bounds for the MLE.

uplim

A vector or scalar of upper bounds for the MLE.

null0

A vector or scalar of the free parameters under the null hypothesis. See details.

Details

mll takes as first argument the vector of the parameters for which the MLE is generated. Other arguments of mll are the data vector or matrix (x) and a scalar or vector corresponding to the fixed value for the nuisance parameter with respect to which the profilying is computed (theta, see gLRT). If the latter is a vector it must be of same length of the rows in THETA. If the null model has nuisance parameters, null0 takes as arguments the values of the parameters being tested under the null hypothesis, followed by the estimates of the nuisance parameters obtained assuming that the null hypothesis is true.

Value

The value of the generalized LRT for a specified value of theta.
