This function will calculate the negative log likelihood value when the vector of binomial random variables and vector of corresponding frequencies are given with the input parameters.

NegLLCorrBin(x,freq,p,cov)

Arguments

x

vector of binomial random variables.

freq

vector of frequencies.

p

single value for probability of success.

cov

single value for covariance.

Value

The output of NegLLCorrBin will produce a single numeric value.

Details

$$freq \ge 0$$ $$x = 0,1,2,..$$ $$0 < p < 1$$ $$-\infty < cov < +\infty$$

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.
