objFunction function

Internal functions for constrained minimization

Groups of functions used for the constrained minimization problem arising in the computation of the likelihood ratio test statistics.

objFunction(x, cst)

gradObjFunction(x, cst)

symMatrixFromVect(x)

ineqCstr(x, cst)

jacobianIneqCstr(x, cst)

eqCstr(x, cst)

jacobianEqCstr(x, cst)

Arguments

• x: A vector
• cst: A list of constants to be passed to the optimisation function

Returns

value of the objective function, its gradient, and the set of inequality and equality constraints

Functions

• gradObjFunction(): gradient of the objective function
• symMatrixFromVect(): function creating a symmetric matrix from its unique elements stored in a vector
• ineqCstr(): set of inequality constraints
• jacobianIneqCstr(): jacobian of the inequality constraints
• eqCstr(): set of equality constraints
• jacobianEqCstr(): jacobian of the inequality constraints
