================================== Default Maximizer for the M-Step ================================== .. r-package:: EMfit .. r-pkgversion:: 0.2 .. r-name:: Mstep.default Mstep.default Description =========== This function provides a standard Newton-Raphson maximizer of the complete data log-likelihood. Usage ===== .. code-block:: r Mstep.default(psi, cpl_data, wPPr, ll_cpl, completeInfo, Jacobian, ..., maxiter = 25, eps = 1e-07, verbose = FALSE) Arguments ========= ``psi`` A numeric vector with starting values ``cpl_data`` A data structure with complete data ``wPPr`` A vector with (weighted) posterior probabilities ``ll_cpl`` A function that computes the complete-data log-likelihood ``completeInfo`` A function that computes the 'complete-data' information matrix ``Jacobian`` A function that computes the Jacobian of the log-likelihood function ``...`` Other argumets, passed on to ``ll_cpl``, etc. ``maxiter`` Maximal number of iterations ``eps`` Numeric; a criterion for convergence ``verbose`` Logical; should an interation trace be displayed? Value ===== A paremeter value that maximizes the Q-function
