degreenet (version 1.2)

degreenet-internal: Internal degreenet Objects

Description

Internal degreenet functions.

Usage

bootstrapyule(x,cutoff=1,cutabove=1000,
              m=200,alpha=0.95,guess=3.31,hellinger=FALSE,
              mle.meth="ayulemle")

Arguments

x

A vector of counts (one per observation).

cutoff

Calculate estimates conditional on exceeding this value.

cutabove

Calculate estimates conditional on not exceeding this value.

range

Maxumum cutoff to use

lims

Plotting limits

m

Number of bootstrap samples to draw

alpha

Confidence level to use

guess

Initial estimate at the MLE.

hellinger

Minimize Hellinger distance of the parametric model from the data instead of maximizing the likelihood.

mle.meth

Method of calculating the MLE

Value

• vector containing the lower bound, bootstrap median, upper bound and MLE for the model

Details

Most of these are similar to those for the Yule distribution or are not to be called by the user.
