randogit: MCEM resolution for a probit maximum likelihood

Description

Based on Booth and Hobert (JRSS B, 1999), this function evaluates the maximum likelihood estimate of a simulated probit model with random effects. The random effects are simulated by a MCMC algorithm.

Usage

randogit(Tem = 10^3, Tmc = 10^2)

Arguments

Tem
starting number of MCEM iterations
Tmc
number of Monte Carlo points in the likelihood approximations

Value

The function returns two plots, one of $(beta,sigma)$ and one of the true likelihood $L(beta,sigma,u0)$, where $u0$ is the true vector of random effects.
