Thanks for your quick reply.
I try the command as follows,
library(stats4) ## loading package stats4
ll <- function(change, ncp, df) {-sum(dt(x, ncp=ncp, df=df,
log=TRUE))}#-log-likelihood function
est<-mle(minuslog=ll, start=list(ncp=-0.3,df=2))
But the warnings appears as follows,
invalid class "mle" object: invalid object for slot "fullcoef" in class
"mle": got class "list", should be or extend class "numeric"
When I typed warnings(), I get
In dt(x, ncp = ncp, df = df, log = TRUE) :
full precision was not achieved in 'pnt'
Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks,
Kate
