Description

Wrapper function for simulating one h_nr matrix and fitting with likelihood using nlm()

Usage

h_nr_one_sim_fit(init = c(3, 15), ...)

Arguments

init	initial conditions for optimisation
...	inputs for h_nr_simulate()

Value

MLE_res output from nlm, a list containing components:

• minimum: minimum of negative log-likelihod

• estimate: vector of MLEs of k and then lambda

• gradient: vector of the gradient at the minimum (should be close to c(0,0))

• code: integer indicating why the optimization process terminated, 1 is relative gradient is close to zero (see ?nlm).

• iterations: number of iterations performed
