apollo (version 0.3.4)

apollo_makeLogLike: Creates log-likelihood function.

Description

Creates log-likelihood function from the likelihood function apollo_probabilities provided by the user.

Usage

apollo_makeLogLike(
  apollo_beta,
  apollo_fixed,
  apollo_probabilities,
  apollo_inputs,
  apollo_estSet = list(estimationRoutine = "bgw"),
  cleanMemory = FALSE
)

Value

apollo_logLike function.

Arguments

apollo_beta

Named numeric vector. Names and values for parameters.

apollo_fixed

Character vector. Names (as defined in apollo_beta) of parameters whose value should not change during estimation.

apollo_probabilities

Function. Returns probabilities of the model to be estimated. Must receive three arguments:

  • apollo_beta: Named numeric vector. Names and values of model parameters.

  • apollo_inputs: List containing options of the model. See apollo_validateInputs.

  • functionality: Character. Can be either "components", "conditionals", "estimate" (default), "gradient", "output", "prediction", "preprocess", "raw", "report", "shares_LL", "validate" or "zero_LL".

apollo_inputs

List grouping most common inputs. Created by function apollo_validateInputs.

apollo_estSet

List of estimation options. It must contain at least one element called estimationRoutine defining the estimation algorithm. See apollo_estimate.

cleanMemory

Logical. If TRUE, then apollo_inputs$draws and apollo_inputs$database are erased throughout the calling stack. Used to reduce memory usage in case of multithreading and a large database or number o draws.

Details

Internal use only. Called by apollo_estimate before estimation. The returned function can be single-threaded or multi-threaded based on the model options.
