log_likelihood: Compute the (log-)likelihood of a probability distribution given data
Description
Functions for computing the (log-)likelihood based on a distribution
object and observed data. The log-likelihood is computed as the sum of
log-density contributions and the likelihood by taking the exponential thereof.
Usage
log_likelihood(d, x, ...)
likelihood(d, x, ...)
Value
Numeric value of the (log-)likelihood.
Arguments
d
An object. The package provides methods for distribution
objects such as those from Normal() or Binomial() etc.
x
A vector of data to compute the likelihood.
...
Arguments passed to methods. Unevaluated arguments will generate a warning to
catch mispellings or other possible errors.
