mxFitFunctionGREML {OpenMx} | R Documentation |
This function creates a new MxFitFunctionGREML
object.
mxFitFunctionGREML(dV=character(0))
dV |
Vector of character strings; defaults to a character vector of length zero. If a value of non-zero length is provided, it must be a named character vector. This vector's names must be the labels of free parameters in the model. The vector's elements (i.e., the character strings themselves) must be the names of |
Making effective use of argument dV
will usually require a custom mxComputeSequence()
. The derivatives of the REML loglikelihood function with respect to parameters can be internally computed from the derivatives of the 'V' matrix supplied via dV
. These loglikelihood derivatives will be valid as long as (1) the derivatives of 'V' evaluate to symmetric matrices the same size as 'V,' and (2) the model contains no MxConstraint
s. Internally, the derivatives of the 'V' matrix are assumed to be symmetric, and the elements above their main diagonals are ignored.
Returns a new object of class MxFitFunctionGREML
