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