Dear Sir/Madam, If I have a sample of observations that come from an extreme value distribution, the density function for the extreme value distribution is: f(x)=(1/b)exp[-(x-a)/b]exp{-exp[-(x-a)/b]}, b>0, x can be any value, my question is how to implement the Newton iteration and estimate the parameters for this distribution and the accuracy of epsilon=0.0001? The n= 100 observations are given as follows: x<- c(8.8, 9.4, 8.7, 9.3, 9.6, 9.4, 9.1, 9.4, 8.4, 6.8, 8.4, ?.2, 9.4, 7.4, 8.7, 9.4, 9.2, 9.3, 8.0, 8.5, 8.7, 9.7, 9.8, ?.5, 7.1, 7.8, 9.0, 8.6, 9.4, 6.9, 9.1, 9.9, 7.3, 8.5, 8.8, ?.4, 9.0, 8.6, 8.5, 9.2, 9.7, 9.2, 9.2, 8.4, 8.7, 9.6, 9.2, ?.8, 8.5, 9.0, 8.9, 9.6, 8.0, 9.7, 8.4, 7.5, 9.1, 9.2, 8.9, ?.2, 9.8, 9.4, 8.5, 9.3, 9.8, 9.6, 9.7, 8.9, 9.7, 8.7, 8.6, ?.7, 8.6, 9.7, 7.7, 8.6, 9.7, 8.5, 9.4, 9.4, 9.7, 8.1, 9.5, ?.3, 8.0, 9.8, 8.9, 9.5, 9.0, 8.7, 9.1, 8.5, 8.7, 8.4, 9.3, ?.5, 8.9, 9.3, 9.0, 9.9)? thanks in advance! xingyu
