Hi All,
I've put together some script which gives me the parameters of a modified
NIG distribution. Now I'd like to include a weighted vector within the
maximization function. The code below gives me parameter estimates which are
implicitly equally weighted.
nig.par.fit <- try(optim(vega, negllh, hessian = se, pdf = density.nig,
tmp.data = data, transf = transform, const.pars
vars[!opt.pars],
silent = silent, par.names = names(vars), ...))
vega are the parameters to be fitted.
This seems to work reasonably for my equally weighted observations, but I
have not been able to find/adjust the function to include a weighted vector
(w_i). I'm trying not to alter the density function.
Is there a way of doing this with optim, or another optimizer I should be
looking at?
Many thanks,
J
