ecmnhess

Hessian of negative log-likelihood function

Description

example

Hessian = ecmnhess(Data,Covariance) computes an NUMPARAMS-by-NUMPARAMS Hessian matrix of the observed negative log-likelihood function based on current parameter estimates.

Use ecmnhess after estimating the mean and covariance of Data with ecmnmle.

example

Hessian = ecmnhess(___,InvCovar,MatrixType) adds optional arguments for InvCovar and MatrixType.

This example shows how to compute the Hessian for the negative log-likelihood function for five years of daily total return data for 12 computer technology stocks, with six hardware and six software companies

load ecmtechdemo.mat

The time period for this data extends from April 19, 2000 to April 18, 2005. The sixth stock in Assets is Google (GOOG), which started trading on August 19, 2004. So, all returns before August 20, 2004 are missing and represented as NaNs. Also, Amazon (AMZN) had a few days with missing values scattered throughout the past five years.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Hessian matrix, returned as an NUMPARAMSNUMPARAMS matrix of the observed log-likelihood function based on current parameter estimates, where NUMPARAMS = NUMSERIES * (NUMSERIES + 3)/2 if the MatrixFormat = 'full'. If the MatrixFormat = 'meanonly', then the NUMPARAMS = NUMSERIES.
