我在 Stan 中使用最大似然优化，但不幸的是该optimizing()函数不报告标准错误：

> MLb4c <- optimizing(get_stanmodel(fitb4c), data = win.data, init = inits)

如何获得估计值（或置信区间 - 分位数）的标准误差，以及可能的 p 值？

编辑：我按照@Ben Goodrich 的建议做了：

> MLb4cH <- optimizing(get_stanmodel(fitb4c), data = win.data, init = inits, hessian = TRUE)

> sqrt(diag(solve(-MLb4cH$hessian)))
       psi      alpha       beta 
0.21138314 0.03251696 0.03270493

但是这些“不受约束的”标准错误似乎与真实错误有很大不同 - 这里是贝叶斯拟合的输出，使用stan()：

您可以指定函数的hessian = TRUE参数optimizing，它将返回 Hessian 作为输出列表的一部分。因此，您可以通过 ; 获得估计的标准误差sqrt(diag(solve(-MLb4c$hessian)))；然而，这些标准误差与无约束空间中的估计有关。要获得约束MLb4c$par空间中参数的估计标准误差，您可以使用 delta 方法或从均值向量为且方差协方差为的多元正态分布中多次绘制，使用函数solve(-MLb4c$hessian)将这些绘制转换为约束空间constrain_pars，并估计每列的标准差。

这是一些您可以适应您的情况的 R 代码

# 1: Compile and save a model (make sure to pass the data here)
model <- stan(file="model.stan", data=c("N","K","X","y"), chains = 0, iter = 0)

# 2: Fit that model
fit <- optimizing(object=get_stanmodel(model), as_vector = FALSE,
                   data=c("N","K","X","y"), hessian = TRUE)

# 3: Extract the vector theta_hat and the Hessian for the unconstrained parameters
theta_hat <- unlist(fit$par)
upars <- unconstrain_pars(linear, relist(theta_hat, fit$par))
Hessian <- fit$hessian

# 4: Extract the Cholesky decomposition of the (negative) Hessian and invert
R <- chol(-Hessian)
V <- chol2inv(R)
rownames(V) <- colnames(V) <- colnames(Hessian)

# 5: Produce a matrix with some specified number of simulation draws from a multinormal
SIMS <- 1000
len <- length(theta_hat)
unconstrained <- upars + t(chol(V)) %*% 
  matrix(rnorm(SIMS * len), nrow = len, ncol = SIMS)
theta_sims <- t(apply(unconstrained, 2, FUN = function(upars) {
  unlist(constrain_pars(linear, upars))
}))

# 6: Produce estimated standard errors for the constrained parameters
se <- apply(theta_sims, 2, sd)
