Internal degreenet Objects

Description

Internal degreenet functions.

Usage

bootstrapyule(x,cutoff=1,cutabove=1000,
              m=200,alpha=0.95,guess=3.31,hellinger=FALSE,
              mle.meth="ayulemle")

Arguments

x A vector of counts (one per observation).
cutoff Calculate estimates conditional on exceeding this value.
cutabove Calculate estimates conditional on not exceeding this value.
range Maxumum cutoff to use
lims Plotting limits
m Number of bootstrap samples to draw
alpha Confidence level to use
guess Initial estimate at the MLE.
hellinger Minimize Hellinger distance of the parametric model from the data instead of maximizing the likelihood.
mle.meth Method of calculating the MLE

Details

Most of these are similar to those for the Yule distribution or are not to be called by the user.

Value

vector containing the lower bound, bootstrap median, upper bound and MLE for the model

Note

See the working papers on http://www.csss.washington.edu/Papers for details
