Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

View source: R/mllogitnorm.R

Description

The maximum likelihood estimate of mu is the empirical mean of the logit transformed data and the maximum likelihood estimate of sigma is the square root of the logit transformed biased sample variance.

Usage

1
mllogitnorm(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

a (non-empty) numeric vector of data values.

na.rm

logical. Should missing values be removed?

...

currently affects nothing.

Details

For the density function of the logit-normal distribution see dlogitnorm.

Value

model

The name of the model.

density

The density associated with the estimates.

logLik

The loglikelihood at the maximum.

support

The support of the density.

n

The number of observations.

call
