Create the zeroth-order saddlepoint negative log-likelihood function

This function creates and returns a function of the form function(a) {...}, where 'a' combines tvec and theta arguments to a single vector, in that order.

Usage

get.zeroth.saddlepoint.nll.function(tvec, theta, cgf)

Arguments

tvec

A numeric vector.

theta

A numeric vector.

cgf

An object of class 'CGF'.

Value

A function that takes a vector 'a' as an argument. When a = c(tvec, theta) is passed to the returned function, it yields a list in the format: list(objective = , gradient = ).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
  # TO DO: write a working example
} # }
