detectbound

Detect bounds for density function

Description

Manual detection of bounds of parameter of a density function/

Usage

detectbound(distname, vstart, obs, fix.arg=NULL, echo=FALSE)

Arguments

distname

A character string "name" naming a distribution for which the corresponding density function dname must be classically defined.

vstart

A named vector giving the initial values of parameters of the named distribution.

obs

A numeric vector for non censored data.

fix.arg

An optional named vector giving the values of fixed parameters of the named distribution. Default to NULL.
echo

A logical to show some traces.

Details

This function manually tests the following bounds : -1, 0, and 1.

Value

detectbound returns a 2-row matrix with the lower bounds in the first row and the upper bounds in the second row.
