Likelihood model

R package: likelihood.model

The R package likelihood.model is designed for specifying and using likelihood models for statistical inference.

The basic likelihood model is a concept that, in order for your object to satisfy, must implement a number of generic functions/methods. The package provides a class, likelihood_contr_model, which implements these functions and serves as a flexible framework for specifying likelihood models based on the idea of independent likelihood contributions for different types of observations, e.g., right-censored versus exact observations.

The package is designed to be used with the algebraic.mle package, which provides a framework for performing maximum likelihood estimation (MLE).

Installation

You can install the development version of likelihood.model from GitHub with:

if (!require(devtools)) {
    install.packages("devtools")
}
devtools::install_github("queelius/likelihood.model")

See the package website for more information.
