Compositional (version 3.5)

Estimation of the value of alpha via the profile log-likelihood: Estimation of the value of α via the alfa profile log-likelihood

Description

Estimation of the value of α via the alfa profile log-likelihood.

Usage

alfa.profile(x, a = seq(-1, 1, by = 0.01))

Arguments

x

A matrix with the compositional data. Zero values are not allowed.

a

A grid of values of α.

Value

A list including:

res

The chosen value of α, the corresponding log-likelihood value and the log-likelihood when α=0.

ci

An asympotic 95% confidence interval computed from the log-likelihood ratio test.

Details

For every value of α the normal likelihood (see the refernece) is computed. At the end, the plot of the values is constructed.
