bollen.loglik: Log-Likelihood of a sem model (Internal function).

In influence.SEM: Case Influence in Structural Equation Models

Log-Likelihood of a sem model (Internal function).

Description

Internal function, called by Likedist.

Usage

bollen.loglik(N, S, Sigma)

Arguments

N	Sample size.
S	Observed covariance matrix.
Sigma	Model fitted covariance matrix, \Sigma(\theta).

Details

The log-likelihood is computed by the function bollen.loglik using the formula 4B2 described by Bollen (1989, pag. 135).

Value

Returns the Log-likelihood.
