I am trying to model data with multivariate Hawkes distribution. Take the
below example. I am able to compute likelihood but don't know how to
maximize it.
library(hawkes)
lambda0 <- c(0.2,0.2)
alpha <- matrix(c(0.5,0,0,0.5),byrow=TRUE,nrow=2)
beta <- c(0.7,0.7)
history <- simulateHawkes(lambda0,alpha,beta,3600)
l <- likelihoodHawkes(lambda0,alpha,beta,history)
How do I maximize this likelihood so that I can find the best lambda, alpha
and beta parameters?
I am not able to find any library or function calls for doing this.
Thanks for the help.
