Hi I am using the boot function in boot package. I am facing a problem in getting the values of bias and st.error in the output. r<-36 n<-40 shape<-2 theta11<-exp(1) # (=2.718282) theta21<-exp(.5) #( =1.648721) m0<- function(Ti,Tj) #a function that generates the MLestimates { loglik<-function(ti,tj,alpha,theta1,theta2){ -1*( log(n)-log(n1)-log(r-n1)-r*lgamma(alpha)-alpha*n1*log(theta1)-alpha*(r-n1)*log(theta2)+(alpha-1) *sum(log(Ti))+(alpha-1)*sum(log(Tj-tau+(theta2/theta1)*tau))-(1/theta1)*sum(Ti)- (1/theta2)*sum(Tj-tau+(theta2/theta1)*tau)+(n-r)*log(1-pgamma((max(Tj)-tau+ (theta2/theta1)*tau)/theta2,alpha,1))) } V<-mle2(minuslogl = loglik, start = list(alpha= 2,theta1= 11, theta2= 3), data = list(size = 20)) Est<-coef(V) } sample1<-function(n,r,tau,shape,theta1,theta2) #the function that generate the sample { U<-runif(n) Us<-sort(U) F1tau<- pgamma((tau/theta1),shape,1) n1<-sum(Us<- boot(data=c(Ti,Tj) , statistic= func1 , R=1000,sim='parametric', ran.gen=func2, mle= m0(Ti,Tj) ) boot.ci(bootobject, conf=.90, type= 'bca') Thank you and take care.
