Is there a way to manually solve for $\beta_0$ in this equation:
$$4e^{\beta_0}\sum_{i=1}^{25}\frac{e^{\beta_1 x_{i1}}}{4\phi e^{\beta_0+\beta_1 x_{i1}}+1}=0$$

one of the  solution i guss 
4e^bata0=0 mmm but that lead u to infinite
so convert the sum to limit.

anonymous · Answer

I don't think the left side will ever take on 0, regardless of what values you put in.

ganeshie8 · Answer

yup ! so we need to mess wid the sum and see if we can change it to a nice limit
so xi's are not known is it ?

kirbykirby · Answer

the xi is an indicator variable

Yeah this this is weird I think I have to re-derive my result >_> (This is a sub-result from a larger problem).

kirbykirby · Answer

Hm yes I definitely missed a term. Thanks for pointing it out

ikram002p · Answer

ok wat is the hole prob ??

kirbykirby · Answer

Oh gosh the whole problem was trying to maximize the log-likelihood of some Poisson-Gamma distribution mixture
