Hi If I understand your question you need extract log-likelihood for a linear model, so you need using logLik command, see example: set.seed(1) x-rpois(16,6) y-2*x+3+rnorm(16,sd=3) model-lm(y~x) logLik(model) 'log Lik.' -40.1177 (df=3) -- Bernardo Rangel Tura, M.D,MPH,Ph.D National Institute of Cardiology Brazil __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] negative log likelihood
Sounds like a homework question ... if y = a + bx + e, where e ~ N(0, sigma^2) the log likelihood of the slope parameter and intercept parameters, a and b, and variance sigma^2 given n data points y and covariates x is f(a,b, sigma; y, x) = -0.5*n*log(2 * pi) - n*log(sigma) - 0.5 / sigma^2 * sum_i [ (y_i - (a + b*x_i))^2 ] You can simplyfiy this function if you condition on the variance and intercept. You are then left with a simple function coresponding to the log-likelihood curve. This function is trivial to minimise. Hope this helps. Colin.
