CUB (version 0.1)

varcovcubeexp: Variance-covariance matrix for CUBE models based on the expected information matrix

Description

Compute the variance-covariance matrix of parameter estimates as the inverse of the expected information matrix for a CUBE model without covariates.

Usage

varcovcubeexp(m, pai, csi, phi, n)

Arguments

m
Number of ordinal categories
pai
Uncertainty parameter
csi
Feeling parameter
phi
Overdispersion parameter
n
Number of observations

Details

The function checks if the variance-covariance matrix is positive-definite: if not, it returns a warning message and produces a matrix with NA entries.
