Gamma MLE
Hello,
I was asked to try the following code on R,
gamma.mles
function (xx,shape0,rate0)
{
n<- length(xx)
xbar<- mean(xx)
logxbar<- mean(log(xx))
theta<-c(shape0,rate0)
repeat {
theta0<- theta
shape<- theta0[1]
rate<- theta0[2]
S<- n*matrix(c(log(rate)-digamma(shape)+logxbar,shape/rate-xbar),ncol=1)
I<- n*matrix(c(trigamma(shape),-1/rate,-1/rate,shape/rate^2),ncol=2)
theta<- theta0 + solve(I) %*% S
if(...
