[R] Query on how to do maximum likelihood fitting of a functional (MLFR)

[Jose Iparraguirre]

Turgut,

I'm afraid you'll have to write it by yourself. 
Dhanoa and Sanderson (Can J Zool, 66:821-823, 2010) mention the FREML Excel add-in written by Ripley and Thompson (available on the Royal Society of Chemistry's website at the moment of writing that paper) and that the simulation and extrapolation procedure has been implemented in R (Simex package) but they remark that "simple linear regression typically would not be a candidate for SIMEX analysis".
Hope this helps, and good luck with your piece of coding!
José

This is the third time I have seen this message. I don't have an answer for you. Someone else might, but repeatedly posting won't make an answer magically appear, and if no one knows what you are talking about you won't see any response. In that case you may need to translate your references into R code yourself.

You may want to acquaint yourself with the RSiteSearch() function, the maintainer() function, and reading source code of libraries as first steps toward understanding how to implement these algorithms yourself.
