Local_LL: Value of the Log-Likelihood Function L, where Input is in Phi-Parametrization

Description

Gives the value of

$$L(\phi) = \sum_{i=1}^m w_i \phi(x_i) - \int_{x_1}^{x_m} \exp(\phi(t)) dt.$$

Usage

Local_LL(x, w, phi)

Arguments

x

Vector of independent and identically distributed numbers, with strictly increasing entries.

w

Optional vector of nonnegative weights corresponding to \({\bold{x}_m}\).

phi

Some vector \({\bold{\phi}}\) of the same length as \({\bold{x}}\) and \({\bold{w}}\).

Value

Value \(L=L({\bold{\phi}})\) of the log-likelihood function is returned.
