mlEstimates - Distance function maximum likelihood estimates
Description
Estimate parameters of a distance function using maximum likelihood.
Usage
mlEstimates(ml, strt.lims)
Arguments
ml |
Either a Rdistance 'model frame' or an Rdistance
'fitted object'. Both are of class "dfunc".
Rdistance 'model frames' are lists containing components
necessary to estimate a distance function, but no estimates.
Rdistance 'model frames' are typically
produced by calls to |
strt.lims |
A list containing start, low, and high limits for
parameters of the requested likelihood. This list is typically produced
by a call to |
Value
An Rdistance fitted model object. This object contains the
raw object returned by the optimization routine (e.g., nlming
),
and additional components specific to Rdistance.
