llis.saemix: Log-likelihood using Importance Sampling

Description

Estimate the log-likelihood using Importance Sampling

Usage

llis.saemix(saemixObject)

Value

the log-likelihood estimated by Importance Sampling

Arguments

saemixObject

an object returned by the saemix function

Author

Emmanuelle Comets , Audrey Lavenu, Marc Lavielle.

Details

The likelihood of the observations is estimated without any approximation using a Monte-Carlo approach (see documentation).
