grad_iid: Compute analytic gradient of Q-function for locally IID EM...

In networkTomography: Tools for network tomography

Description

Computes gradient of Q-function with respect to log(c(lambda,phi)) for EM algorithm from Cao et al. (2000) for their locally IID model.

Usage

grad_iid(logtheta, c, M, rdiag, epsilon)

Arguments

logtheta	numeric vector (length k+1) of log(lambda) (1:k) and log(phi) (last entry)
c	power parameter in model of Cao et al. (2000)
M	matrix (n x k) of conditional expectations for OD flows, one time per row
rdiag	numeric vector (length k) containing diagonal of conditional covariance matrix R
epsilon	numeric nugget to add to diagonal of covariance for numerical stability

Value

numeric vector of same length as logtheta containing calculated gradient
