perms (version 1.14)

get_log_ML: get_log_ML

Description

Computes the log marginal likelihood of the data from the log permanents. Given the computed log permanents log_perms, this function computes the log marginal likelihood using the formula (2.3) in [1]. It is assumed that there are no repeated trials. If the data contain repeated trials, then the appropriate log binomial factor must be added to the output of this function.

Usage

get_log_ML(log_perms, n, debug = FALSE)

Value

The estimated log marginal likelihood. A NA value is returned if there are no non-zero numbers.

Arguments

log_perms

A vector length n containing the computed log permanents, where a zero permanent is indicated by a NA value.

n

Sample size.

debug

If TRUE, debug information is printed.
