Estimate the covariance matrix of the MELE

Description

Estimate the covariance matrix of the maximum empirical likelihood estimator (MELE).

Usage

meleCov(drmfit)

Arguments

Value

The estimated covariance matrix of the MELE.

Examples

# Data generation
set.seed(25)
n_samples <- c(100, 200, 180, 150, 175)  # sample sizes
x0 <- rgamma(n_samples[1], shape=5, rate=1.8)
x1 <- rgamma(n_samples[2], shape=12, rate=1.2)
x2 <- rgamma(n_samples[3], shape=12, rate=1.2)
x3 <- rgamma(n_samples[4], shape=18, rate=5)
x4 <- rgamma(n_samples[5], shape=25, rate=2.6)
x <- c(x0, x1, x2, x3, x4)

# Fit a DRM with the basis function q(x) = (x, log(abs(x))),
# which is the basis function for gamma family. This basis
# function is the built-in basis function 6.
drmfit <- drmdel(x=x, n_samples=n_samples, basis_func=6)

# Check MELE
drmfit$mele

# Estimate the covariance matrix of the MELE
meleCov(drmfit)
