mlnbinom: Negative binomial distribution maximum likelihood estimation

Description

For the density function of the Negative binomial distribution see Negative binomial.

Usage

mlnbinom(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Value

mlnbinom returns an object of class

univariateML. This is a named numeric vector with maximum likelihood estimates for size and prob and the following attributes:

model

The name of the model.

density

The density associated with the estimates.

logLik

The loglikelihood at the maximum.

support

The support of the density.

n

The number of observations.

call

The call as captured my match.call

Arguments

x

a (non-empty) numeric vector of data values.

na.rm

logical. Should missing values be removed?

...

The arguments size can be specified to only return the ml of prob. reltol is the relative accuracy requested, defaults to .Machine$double.eps^0.25. iterlim is a positive integer specifying the maximum number of iterations to be performed before the program is terminated (defaults to 100).
