Long-Term Crime Desistance and Recidivism Patterns—Evidence from the Essex County Convicted Felon Study (2012, positive): “Our analyses rely on the maxLik library that is available in R (version 2.13; Henningsen and Toomet, 2010).”
Apollo: A flexible, powerful and customisable freeware package for choice model estimation and application (2019, methodology): “This function uses the maxLik package (Henningsen and Toomet, 2011) for classical estimation, where Bayesian estimation is discussed in Section 5.”
Inferences and Optimal Censoring Schemes for Progressively First-Failure Censored Nadarajah-Haghighi Distribution (2020, methodology): “…were performed usingR statistical programming language software with mainly two useful statistical packages are ‘coda’ package proposed by Plummer et al. (2006), and ‘maxLik’ package, which using Newton-Raphson method of maximization in the computations, proposed by Henningsen and Toomet (2011).”
Poisson–exponential distribution: different methods of estimation (2018, methodology): “Different numerical optimization methods were considered, among then we selected the Newton–Raphson and the BFGS (see Henningsen and Toomet [12]) methods depending on the estimation procedure.”
