Hi, I got a code from S that uses 'nlminb' to minimize a function with constraints. Is there a similar function in R? Thanks. R.

Is there a similar function in R?optim(method="L-BFGS-B") Both use box-constrained optimization. Note that things like howyou supply derivatives differ between the systems. -- Brian D.

You can use the "optim" command which came with R.1.0.0. type help(optim) for more details.
