In gamlss: Generalized Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape

A function to generate the likelihood function from a GAMLSS object

Description

This function generate a function with argument the parameters of the GAMLSS model which can evaluate the log-likelihood function.

Usage

gen.likelihood(object)

Arguments

object

A gamlss fitted model

Details

The purpose of this function is to help the function vcov() to get he right Hessian matrix after a model has fitted. Note that at the momment smoothing terms are consideted as fixed.

Value

A function of the log-likelihood
