Dear all,
I have a problem with the value of the function optim
optim(startingvalues,fct,NULL,method="BFGS",
control=list(maxit=300,trace=TRUE,REPORT=1))
In the helpfile for it is said that
$convergence
is an integer code and
0 indicates successful convergence
1 indicates that the iteration limit maxit had been reached
So while using it, I played with different values for maxit and even if
I'm setting
maxit=2 ( so the algorithm can't be converged) the value of $convergence
is 0.
Can anyone give me a hint what's going wrong..
and is there another parameter who is indicating the convergence oof
the algorithm?
I am confused. Thanks for any help.
