Dear all, I am using the nlm(base) function for a simple least squares problem. The size (order of magnitude) of the minimized function near the final parameter set is normally about 1e-10. Using the fscale=1e-10 argument in nlm is inefficient (no minimization is performed, iterations=0 or 1). Nlm only works when the minimized function is multiplied by 1e10 (without changing the default fscale). Why? How should I use the fscale arg? Thanks!
