Detailed Description

template<typename Type>
struct fims_distributions::NormalLPDF< Type >

Implements the NormalLPDF distribution functor used by FIMS to evaluate observation-level and total log-likelihood contributions under a normal error model for data, priors, and random effects.

This implementation relies on TMB's R-style dnorm() utility for normal log-density calculations. Specifically, when evaluating the normal likelihood, observations are passed to dnorm(..., give_log = true) to obtain log-density values.

For data input, values equal to na_value are skipped and contribute zero to the objective. Per-observation contributions are stored in lpdf_vec; the summed total is returned by evaluate() and stored in lpdf.

Member Function Documentation

evaluate()

template<typename Type >

virtual const Type fims_distributions::NormalLPDF< Type >::evaluate ( )

inlinevirtual

Evaluates the normal log probability density function.

The following equation is normal probability density function, and thus, the log of it evaluated:

\[ f(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\mathrm{exp}\Bigg(-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2} \Bigg), \]

where \(\mu\) is the mean of the distribution and \(\sigma^2\) is the variance.

Implements fims_distributions::DensityComponentBase< Type >.
