mymaxlik: My Maximum Likelihood Function

In sam-irl/MATH4753bird0023:

My Maximum Likelihood Function

Description

Uses the method of maximum likelihood to estimate the max likelihood of a distribution, given some prior outcomes and a function that returns the log likelihood given a parameter.

Usage

mymaxlik(lfun, x, param, ...)

Arguments

lfun	- a function that will find the log likelihood given a value-parameter pair
x	- a vector of prior outcomes
param	- the parameter to be passed to the distribution (for instance, p in a binomial or lambda in a Poisson)
...	- other parameters that will be passed to 'plot()'

Value

maxima and also a neat graph

Examples

## Not run: 
mymaxlik(function (x, param) log(dbinom(x, prob=param, size=20)), c(1,2,3,4), seq(0,1,length=1000))

## End(Not run)
