Hi, I am trying to get the maximum likelihood estimator for lognormal distribution with censored data;when we have left, interval and right censord. I built my code in R, by writing the deriving of log likelihood function and using newton raphson method but my estimators were too high " overestimation", where the values exceed the 1000 in some runing of my code. is there any one can tell me where the error can be and help me in how I can get the estimators with right way?. kind regards
This sounds like a rather complicated calculation and would be much easier to follow along with if you could provide a reproducible example: this site provides many useful pointers. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example Cheers, Michael
