cg2pt

Compute approximated likelihoods based on 2-point estimation data.

Synopsis:

The cg2pt command is invoked as either:

• cg2pt Options
• cg2pt Mode

Description:

The cg2pt command allows fast likelihood computations based on 2-point estimation data when Mode is set to a value different from zero. Otherwise, exact multipoint likelihood computations are performed by the EM algorithm. The fast mode should be chosen with care because it does a poor approximation in the case of multiple datasets merged by order (dsmergor) and also when there are many missing data in the datasets.

Arguments:

• Options : -u to obtain the synopsis of the normal use, -h to print a one line description, -H to print a short help.
• Mode: if set to 1, then enter in fast likelihood computation mode ; if set to 0, then enter in normal multipoint likelihood computation mode.
