drc (version 3.0-1)

bread.drc: Bread and meat for the sandwich

Description

Bread and meat for the sandwich estimator of the variance-covariance.

Usage

bread.drc(x, ...)  estfun.drc(x, ...)

Arguments

x

object of class drc

...

additional arguments. At the moment none are supported

Value

The unscaled hessian is returned by bread.drc, whereas estfun.drc returns the estimating function evaluated at the data and the parameter estimates.By default no clustering is assumed, corresponding to robust standard errors under independence. If a cluster variable is provided the log likelihood contributions provided by estfun are summed up for each cluster.

Details

The details are provided by Zeileis (2006).
