Details

ggmfit is based on a C implementation. ggmfitr is implemented purely in R (and is provided mainly as a benchmark for the C-version).

Examples

## Fitting "butterfly model" to mathmark data
## Notice that the output from the two fitting functions is not
## entirely identical.
data(math)
ddd <- cov.wt(math, method="ML")
glist <- list(c("al", "st", "an"), c("me", "ve", "al"))
ggmfit (ddd$cov, ddd$n.obs, glist)
ggmfitr(ddd$cov, ddd$n.obs, glist)
