logLik.mkinfit.RdThis function simply calculates the product of the likelihood densities
  calculated using dnorm, i.e. assuming normal distribution.
The total number of estimated parameters returned with the value of the likelihood is calculated as the sum of fitted degradation model parameters and the fitted error model parameters.
For the case of unweighted least squares fitting, we calculate one
  constant standard deviation from the residuals using sd
  and add one to the number of fitted degradation model parameters.
For the case of manual weighting, we use the weight given for each observation as standard deviation in calculating its likelihood and the total number of estimated parameters is equal to the number of fitted degradation model parameters.
In the case of iterative reweighting, the variances obtained by this procedure are used in the likelihood calculations, and the number of estimated parameters is obtained by the number of degradation model parameters plus the number of variance model parameters, i.e. the number of observed variables if the reweighting method is "obs", and two if the reweighting method is "tc".
