Qunogecub function

Auxiliary function for the log-likelihood estimation of GeCUB models.

Define the opposite one of the two scalar functions that are maximized when running the E-M algorithm for GeCUB models with covariates for feeling, uncertainty and overdispersion.

Qunogecub(param,datiuno,s)

Arguments

• param: Vector of initial estimates of parameters for the uncertainty component
• datiuno: Auxiliary matrix
• s: Number of covariates to explain the shelter effect
