effecubecsi function

Auxiliary function for the log-likelihood estimation of CUBE models with covariates only for the feeling component

Compute the opposite of the scalar function that is maximized when running the E-M algorithm for CUBE models with covariates only for the feeling component.

effecubecsi(param, ordinal, W, m)

Arguments

• param: Vector of length equal to NCOL(W) + 3 whose entries are the initial parameters estimates
• ordinal: Vector of ordinal responses
• W: Matrix of the selected covariates for explaining the feeling component
• m: Number of ordinal categories
