negloglik2_intervalsonly: calculate the likelihood contribution of interval data only

Description

calculate the likelihood contribution of interval data only

Usage

negloglik2_intervalsonly(para, parnames = names(para), X, lower_bounds,
  upper_bounds)

Arguments

para

This is the vector \(Psi\) of parameters defining model (see p. 62 in Drechsler, Kiesl & Speidel, 2015). With respect to them, the value returned by this function shall be maximized. The starting values are c(betastart2, sigmastart2) (the regression parameters explaining the logged income, and the variance parameter).

parnames

A character vector with the names of the elements in para.

X

the data.frame of covariates.

lower_bounds

the lower bound of an interval variable.

upper_bounds

the upper bound of an interval variable.

Value

An integer equal to the (sum of the) negative log-likelihood contributions (of the observations)
