compositemat: Estimation of the variability and Godambe information matrix...

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

Composite likelihood estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal under mild regularity conditions. The asymptotic covariance matrix is the inverse Godambe information matrix G^{-1}, which is estimated by a nonparametric bootstrap as the empirical covariance of B replicates. The sensitivity matrix H is calculated from the Hessian matrix at the maximum composite likelihood estimates. Lastly, the variability matrix J is obtained from the relation G=HJ^{-1}H
