.Joint_MLE_Expl: Joint maximum likelihood estimation for exponential model

Description

Calculates the MLEs of the rate parameter, and joint asymptotic covariance matrix of these MLEs over a range of thresholds as supplied by the user.

Usage

.Joint_MLE_Expl(x, u = NULL, k, q1, q2 = 1, param)

Value

a list with

  • mle vector of MLEs above the supplied thresholds

  • cov joint asymptotic covariance matrix of these MLEs

Arguments

x

vector of data

u

vector of thresholds. If not supplied, then k thresholds between quantiles (q1, q2) will be used

k

number of thresholds to consider if u not supplied

q1

lower quantile to consider for threshold

q2

upper quantile to consider for threshold

param

character specifying 'InvRate' or 'Rate' for either inverse rate parameter / rate parameter, respectively
