CategoricalGenLinModel.InfiniteEstimateMethod Property

Specifies the method used for handling infinite estimates.

public virtual int InfiniteEstimateMethod {set;}

Property Value

An int scalar indicating which method to use for handling infinite estimates.

Remarks

The value of InfiniteEstimateMethod is interpreted as follows:

InfiniteEstimateMethod Method
0Remove a right or left-censored observation from the log-likelihood whenever the probability of the observation exceeds 0.995. At convergence, use linear programming to check that all removed observations actually have an estimated linear response that is infinite. Set ExtendedLikelihoodObservations[i] for observation i to 2 if the linear response is infinite. If not all removed observations have infinite linear response, recompute the estimates based upon the observations with estimated linear response that is finite. This option is valid only for censoring codes 1 and 2.
1Iterate without checking for infinite estimates.

By default InfiniteEstimateMethod = 1.

Exceptions

Exception TypeCondition
ArgumentException is thrown when InfiniteEstimateMethod is less than 0 or greater than 1
