CUB (version 1.1.5)

varcovcubeobs: Variance-covariance matrix for CUBE models based on the observed information matrix

Description

Compute the variance-covariance matrix of parameter estimates for a CUBE model without covariates as the inverse of the observed information matrix.

Usage

varcovcubeobs(m, pai, csi, phi, freq)

Arguments

m

Number of ordinal categories

pai

Uncertainty parameter

csi

Feeling parameter

phi

Overdispersion parameter

freq

Vector of the observed absolute frequencies

Details

The function checks if the variance-covariance matrix is positive-definite: if not, it returns a warning message and produces a matrix with NA entries.
