prepare_log_lik: Prepares the log likelihood function

In edsandorf/cmdlR: Choice Modeling in R

Prepares the log likelihood function

Description

The function takes the user supplied log-likelihood function and creates convenient wrappers that ensure the function can be evaluated both using a single core and multiple cores.

Usage

prepare_log_lik(ll, estim_env, workers)

Arguments

ll	This is the 'raw' log-likelihood function passed to the estimation routine. It is important that the user takes into account whether the optimization routine is a minimizer (e.g. 'ucminf') or a maximizer (e.g. 'maxlik').
estim_env	An estimation environment returned by prepare_estimation_environment
workers	A list of workers created using the parallel package

Value

The estimation-ready log likelihood function
