Dear both,
I have just found that names are treated in the same way in optim() depending on
the optimization method. The example below shows the difference between the
Brent method and the L-BFGS-B method.
f <- function(x){ y <- x^2;names(y) <-"f(x)";y}
optim(10, f, method="Brent", lower=-1, upper=10)$value
optim(10, f, method="L-BFGS-B", lower=-1, upper=10)$value
z <- 10
names(z) <- "x"
z
optim(z, f, method="Brent", lower=-1, upper=10)$par
optim(z, f, method="L-BFGS-B", lower=-1, upper=10)$par
Do you obtain the same behavior?
