Implements the "mle" FB4 fitting strategy, which estimates the
proportion of maximum consumption (p-value) and its uncertainty by
maximising the log-normal likelihood of observed final weights. Both an R
backend (fit_fb4_mle) and a faster TMB/C++ backend
(execute_mle_tmb) are supported. Confidence intervals are derived
from the Hessian (delta method) and optionally from a likelihood profile
(compute_likelihood_profile).
No return value; this page documents the maximum likelihood estimation strategy functions. See individual function documentation for return values.
