Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples
The function computes the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimate (NPMLE) of a log-concave density from univariate observations.
1 2 |
x |
a vector storing univariate observations. |
lcd |
an initial log-concave density function, which is an object of class "lcd". |
maxit |
maximum number of iterations. |
tol |
tolerance level for stopping the algorithm. Internally, it is used as the threshold on the increase of the log-likelihood after each iteration. |
plot |
type of a plot to be created in each iteration of the
algorithm. If |
The algorithm used to compute the NPMLE is an extension of the constrained Newton method of Wang (2007) for nonparametric mixture estimation. It guarantees to find the unique NPMLE.
The algorithm is described in Liu and Wang (2018).
lcd |
the NPMLE when the algorithm successfully converges, stored as an object of class "lcd". |
ll |
the log-likelihood value, evaluated at the NPMLE. |
num.iterations |
number of iterations used. |
max.gradient |
maximum gradient value at convergence. |
convergence |
= 0, a successful convergence; = 1, failure of convergence, likely because the number of iterations is reached. |
