Weibull maximum likelihood estimates for censored data
Hello! I have a matrix with data and a column indicating whether it is censored or not. Is there a way to apply weibull and exponential maximum likelihood estimation directly on the censored data, like in the paper: Backtesting Value-at-Risk: A Duration-Based Approach, P Chrisoffersen and D Pelletier (October 2003) page 8? The problem is that if I type out the code as below the likelihood ratio is greater than one. > Interest D C 1 17 1 2 10 0 3 15 0 4 2 0 5 42 0 6 53 0 7 193 0 8 11 0 9 2 0 10 8 0 11 12 1 library(stats4) dur_i...
