I read there are several R functions to get the Maximum Likelihood Estimates of a probability distribution with the available data in R. For Example... http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats4/html/mle.html mle {stats4} http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats/html/optim.html optim {stats} http://rgm2.lab.nig.ac.jp/RGM2/func.php?rd_id=bbmle:mle2 mle2 {bbmle} http://rgm2.lab.nig.ac.jp/RGM2/func.php?rd_id=maxLik:maxLik maxLik{maxLik} ..... Can I honestly know which is best and how they differ?
Thanks in advance for your kindness. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Which-is-Best-function-to-find-Maximum-Likelihood-Estimates-in-R-tp4635585.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
