OptimMCL.HCAR: Iterative procedure for maximising the Monte Carlo likelihood...

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also

View source: R/OptimMCL.HCAR.R

Description

The function uses an iterative procedure of directly maximising the Monte Carlo likelihood of a hierechical conditional auto-regressive model and the updating step size is limited by defining an experimental region using the estimated Monte Carlo variance.

Usage

1
OptimMCL.HCAR(data, psi0,  control = list())

Arguments

data

psi0

Starting value for the importance sampler parameter same as described in sim.HCAR.

control

a list of tuning parameters to control the algorithm. Details to be found at OptimMCL

Value

Same as in OptimMCL.
