I am trying to calculate an AIC for my Fisher's log series (fisherfit).  In
order to do this I need the log likelihood.  Does anyone know how to
calculate the log likelihood for a specific alpha value.  I know that the
second derivative of the log-likelihood is used to calculate the standard
error of alpha, but does anyone know how to retrieve these values (Oksanen,
Vegan: ecological diversity).

Cheers,
     Cory

Your point of view of the world depends greatly on where you stand and what
you had to do to get there.
