sum over extremely small numbers
Dear All,
I am evaluating the value of loglikelihood and it ends up with the sum of
tiny numbers.
Below is an example: suppose I would like to calculate sum_i (log (sum_j x
[i, j] )), the index of log (x) is in the range, say (-2000, 0). I am aware
that exp(-744.5) will be expressed as 0 in 32 bit R and exp
Is there a way to improve the result?
R example:
powd <- sample(-2000:0, 100,
