profile function

Profile likelihood and support

Given a support function, return a profile likelihood curve

profsupp(H, i, p, relative=TRUE, ...)
profile_support_single(H, i, p, evaluate=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

• H: hyper2 object
• i: Name of player for which profile support is to be calculated
• p: Strength of element i
• evaluate: Boolean, with default FALSE meaning to return the maximal support for p_i=p and TRUE meaning to return the evaluate
• relative: Boolean; if TRUE (default), return the support relative to the maximum support attained; if false, return the support as returned by profile_support_single().
• ...: Arguments passed to maxp()

Returns

Returns the support at a particular value of $p_i$, or the evaluate conditional on $p_i$.

## Not run:
  # takes too long
p <- seq(from=0.5,to=0.4,len=10)
u <- profsupp(icons,"NB",p)
plot(p,u-max(u))
abline(h=c(0,-2))
