etel: Exponentially tilted empirical likelihood

In retel: Regularized Exponentially Tilted Empirical Likelihood

Exponentially tilted empirical likelihood

Description

Computes exponentially tilted empirical likelihood.

Usage

etel(fn, x, par, opts = NULL)

Arguments

fn	An estimating function that takes the data x and parameter value par as its arguments, returning a numeric matrix. Each row is the return value from the corresponding row in x.
x	A numeric matrix, or an object that can be coerced to a numeric matrix. Each row corresponds to an observation. The number of rows must be greater than the number of columns.
par	A numeric vector of parameter values to be tested.
opts	An optional list with optimization options for nloptr(). Defaults to NULL.

Value

A single numeric value representing the log-likelihood ratio. It contains the optimization results as the attribute optim.

Examples

# Generate data
set.seed(63456)
x <- rnorm(100)

# Define an estimating function (ex. mean)
fn <- function(x, par) {
  x - par
}

# Set parameter value
par <- 0

# Call the etel function
etel(fn, x, par)
