md_block_candidate_m3

Description

Block candidate model. It produces an MLE that is non-unique, i.e., if estimating exponential series system, the MLE for λ₁, λ₂, and λ₃ satisfies ⁠λ̂₁ + λ̂₂ = λ₁ + λ₂⁠ and ⁠λ̂₃ = λ₃⁠.

Usage

md_block_candidate_m3(md, qvar = "q", compvar = "t")

Arguments

md

masked data

qvar

column prefix for component probabilities, defaults to q, e.g., ⁠q1, q2, ..., qm⁠.

compvar

Prefix-code for the component lifetimes, defaults to t, e.g., ⁠t1, t2, ..., tm⁠.

Details

This illustrates one of the conditions for the MLE to be unique:

(1) multiple components must not always show together. if they
do, then the best we can learn is that they satisfy some hyper-plane
constraint.
