Log-Link (Relative-Risk) Binomial Regression Score, Standalone (C++)

Computes a numerical (central finite-difference, step \(h = 10^{-6}\)) approximation of the score vector (gradient of the log-likelihood) of the constrained log-link binomial regression model documented in full at fast_log_binomial_regression_cpp, at arbitrary caller-supplied beta (not necessarily the MLE) — not an analytic derivative. Exported standalone — independent of any optimizer run — for direct numerical diagnostics (e.g. verifying convergence) at a specific parameter value.

Usage

get_log_binomial_regression_score_cpp(X, y_r, beta)

Arguments

X

A numeric matrix of predictors.

y_r

A binary (0/1) numeric vector of responses.

beta

A numeric vector of coefficients \(\beta\) at which to evaluate the score.

Value

The finite-difference-approximated score vector at beta.
