NAME

gbnlpolyit - Non linear polyit regression

SYNOPSIS

gbnlpolyit [options] <function definition>

DESCRIPTION

Non linear polyit estimation. Minimize the negative log-likelihood
sum_{h=0}^{L-1} log(A+h) - sum_{l=1}^L sum_{h=0}^{n_l-1} log(a_l+h)

for the Polya specification or

L log(A) - sum_{l=1}^L n_l log(a_l)

for the multinomial specification, where A = sum_{l=1}^L a_l and L is the number of alternatives. The input data file should contain L rows, one for each alternative, of the type n x1 ... XN. The first column contains the dependent variable (# of observations) and the other columns the independent variables. The model is specified by a function a_l=g(x1,x2...) where x1,.. XN stands for the first, second .. N-th column of independent variables.
