Description
genben.ml.objf contains the (negative) objective function of the
nonlinear programming problem used to compute the MLE in LR.genben.
Usage
1
genben.ml.objf(alpha, freq, digits)
Arguments
alpha
A real number.
freq
Vector of multinomial frequencies.
digits
A significant digits vector.
Details
LR.genben computes the MLE for α numerically under the
generalized Benford alternative by maximizing a log-likelihood objective
function, or equivalently minimizing the negative of said function. See
Lesperance et. al for further details.
