mig_loglik_grad: Gradient of the MIG log likelihood with respect to data

Description

This function returns the gradient vector of the log likelihood with respect to the argument x.

Usage

mig_loglik_grad(x, xi, Omega, beta)

Value

an n by d matrix of first derivatives for the gradient, observation by observation, or a d vector if x is a vector.

Arguments

x

n by d matrix of quantiles

xi

d vector of location parameters \(\boldsymbol{\xi}\), giving the expected value

Omega

d by d positive definite scale matrix \(\boldsymbol{\Omega}\)

beta

d vector \(\boldsymbol{\beta}\) defining the half-space through \(\boldsymbol{\beta}^{\top}\boldsymbol{\xi}>0\)
