mnLogLik2: Approximate multinomial log likelihood for stage frequency...

In jknape/stageFreq: Estimate stage duration distributions and mortality rates from stage frequency data using MCMC

Description

Approximate multinomial log likelihood for stage frequency data with fixed number of individuals.

Usage

mnLogLik2(data, rStageDur, mortRate = NULL, ...)

Arguments

data	A data matrix of class sfMat.
rStageDur	A function for simulating stage durations. Should return a matrix where the columns give the simulated durations for each stage (in order), and the rows represent a simulated individual. Simulated durations may be equalt to Inf if an indiviudal does not mature from a stage.
mortRate	A vector of mortality rates for each stage. If NULL (the default), mortality rates are assumed to be zero.
...	Further arguments passed to rStageDur.

Value

The approximate (stochastic) log-likelihood value.
