profile.mle-class           package:stats4           R Documentation

Class "profile.mle"; Profiling information for "mle" object

Description:

     Likelihood profiles along each parameter of likelihood function

Objects from the Class:

     Objects can be created by calls of the form 'new("profile.mle",
     ...)', but most often by invoking 'profile' on an "mle" object.

Slots:

     'profile': Object of class '"list"'. List of profiles, one for
          each requested parameter. Each profile is a data frame with
          the first column called 'z' being the signed square root of
          the -2 log likelihood ratio, and the others being the
          parameters with names prefixed by 'par.vals.'

     'summary': Object of class '"summary.mle"'. Summary of object
          being profiled.

Methods:

     confint 'signature(object = "profile.mle")': Use profile to
          generate approximate confidence intervals for parameters.

     plot 'signature(x = "profile.mle", y = "missing")': Plot profiles
          for each parameter.
