LW: Lambert's W
In ccrismancox/games2: BR estimation of strategic models
LW R Documentation
Lambert's W
Description
Solves for W in the equation W e^W = x.
Usage
LW(x)
Arguments
x
vector of values to solve for.
Details
The function is based on the code given in Barry et al. (1995). It is used
to calculate fitted values for the ultimatum model.
If negative values of x are supplied, NaNs will likely be
returned.
Value
Solutions to Lambert's W for each value in x.
