SemiEstimate

author: JinhuaSu

breif introduction

Semi-parametric estimation problem can be solved by two-step Newton-Raphson iteration. The implicit Profiling method(our arXiv paper with the title of "Implicit Profiling Estimation for Semiparametric Models with Bundled Parameters" is available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.07928.) is an improved method of two-step NR iteration especially for the implicit-bundled type of the parametric part and non-parametric part. This package provides a function semislv() supporting the above two methods and numeric derivative approximation for unprovided Jacobian matrix.

designer

• S3 usage

• functional object

• there is a global varible s3 -> final result

• there are different small function to modify it

• function factory + s3

develop log

2021.8.16

• check the description done
• add liuyang code for the vignettes part translate the rmd or comment some done
• add basic test for validation pick
• write a paragraph

2021.8.5

• add the pdf doc pick done
• debug for the basic experiments done
• fix the BBoptim done
• to solve alpha problem for the simple case done
• give a simple outline for liuyang to do the after writing doing
• add some check and automatic test: add basic test

2021.8.4

• Nice chance to find the simulation results as liu yang pick
• add the oxygen doc and the pdf doc

2021.7.26

• read R package and run a simple package pick
• remove the unessary part of my package and run it
• add more nessary part for meta test
• change the case into the my package wrapper
• debugging
  • use do.call to replace the all the ellipsis
  • think about a tiny structure to refract the current the code

finding a useful method for realizing the two part: (1) mget (2) list2env (3) ellipsis(The ellipsis is a powerful tool for extending functions. Unfortunately this power comes at a cost: misspelled arguments will be silently ignored. The ellipsis package provides a collection of functions to catch problems and alert the user.)

usage

a function:

build jac_list: check name is correct

new_Date <- function(x = double()) {
  stopifnot(is.double(x))
  structure(x, class = "Date")
}

new_Date(c(-1, 0, 1))
#> [1] "1969-12-31" "1970-01-01" "1970-01-02"

semislv <- function(theta0, lambda0, Phi_fn, Psi_fn, jac = list(), ..., method = c("iterative", "implicit"), jacobian=FALSE, control=list())

all build function should be the constructor:
