CUB (version 1.1.5)

varcovcubshe: Variance-covariance matrix for CUB models with shelter effect

Description

Compute the variance-covariance matrix of parameter estimates of a CUB model with shelter effect.

Usage

varcovcubshe(m, pai1, pai2, csi, shelter, n)

Arguments

m

Number of ordinal categories

pai1

Parameter of the mixture distribution: mixing coefficient for the shifted Binomial component

pai2

Second parameter of the mixture distribution: mixing coefficient for the discrete Uniform component

csi

Feeling parameter

shelter

Category corresponding to the shelter choice

n

Number of observations

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.
