erinclancey/matepref: A Maximum Likelihood Based Method to Estimate the Strength of Mate Preference

This package estimates the strength of mate preference and the strength of phenotypic offset between trait values in mated pairs of organisms, as well as means and standard deviations from X and Y normally distributed phenotypic traits. The package uses a likelihood function defined by the authors that is maximized using the built-in function optim(). The package computes maximum likelihood estimates, the log-likelihood, and a Hessian matrix, and returns parameter estimates and the standard errors for these estimates.
