### Function Reference: `binolike`

statistics: nlogL = binolike (params, x)
statistics: [nlogL, acov] = binolike (params, x)
statistics: […] = binolike (params, x, freq)

Negative log-likelihood for the binomial distribution.

`nlogL = binolike (params, x)` returns the negative log likelihood of the binomial distribution with (1) parameter n and (2) parameter ps, given in the two-element vector params, where n is the number of trials and ps is the probability of success, given the number of successes in x. Unlike `binofit`, which handles each element in x independently, `binolike` returns the negative log likelihood of the entire vector x.

`[nlogL, acov] = binolike (params, x)` also returns the inverse of Fisher’s information matrix, acov. If the input parameter values in params are the maximum likelihood estimates, the diagonal elements of params are their asymptotic variances.

`[…] = binolike (params, x, freq)` accepts a frequency vector, freq, of the same size as x. freq typically contains integer frequencies for the corresponding elements in x, but it can contain any non-integer non-negative values. By default, or if left empty, `freq = ones (size (x))`.
