Is profile.mle flexible enough?
...manage to get profile-based confidence intervals when some parameters of the likelihood function are fixed: -----------8<-------------------------------- library(stats4) minusLogL1 <- function(mu, logsigma2) { N*log(2*pi*exp(logsigma2))/2 + N*(var(x)+(mean(x)-mu)^2)/(2*exp(logsigma2)) } minusLogL2 <- function(mu) { logsigma2 <- 0; N*log(2*pi*exp(logsigma2))/2 + N*(var(x)+(mean(x)-mu)^2)/(2*exp(logsigma2)) } N <- 100 x <- rnorm(N, 0, 1) fit <- mle(minusLogL1, start=list(mu=0, logsigma2=0)) confint(fit) fit2 <- mle(minusLogL1, start=list(mu=0), fixed=list(logsigma2=0)) c...
