Investigates the profile log-likelihood function for a fitted model of
class "vglm"
.
profilevglm(object, which = 1:p.vlm, alpha = 0.01,
maxsteps = 10, del = zmax/5, trace = NULL, ...)
A list of classes "profile.glm"
and "profile"
with an element
for each parameter being profiled.
The elements are data-frames with two
variables
a matrix of parameter values for each fitted model.
the profile t-statistics.
the original fitted model object.
the original model parameters which should be profiled. This can be a numeric or character vector. By default, all parameters are profiled.
highest significance level allowed for the profiling.
maximum number of points to be used for profiling each parameter.
suggested change on the scale of the profile t-statistics. Default value chosen to allow profiling at about 10 parameter values.
logical: should the progress of
profiling be reported? The default is to
use the trace
value from the fitted
object; see vglm.control
for details.
further arguments passed to or from other methods.
T. W. Yee adapted this function from
profile.glm
,
written originally by D. M. Bates and W. N. Venables.
(For S in 1996.)
The help file was also used as a template.
This function is called by
confintvglm
to do the profiling.
See also profile.glm
for details.
pneumo <- transform(pneumo, let = log(exposure.time))
fit1 <- vglm(cbind(normal, mild, severe) ~ let, propodds,
trace = TRUE, data = pneumo)
pfit1 <- profile(fit1, trace = FALSE)
confint(fit1, method = "profile", trace = FALSE)
