[R] Integration problem: error in invoking an outside function

Dear all,

Currently I am trying to integrate a function which depends on four
variables, two of which are given, one is given in the integrate function,
so there is one variable to integrate on.

The code is as follows:
Pmatrix = 
function(th) {
	P      = matrix(nrow=6, ncol=6, data=0)
	P[1,1] = P[2,1]=P[3,2]=P[4,3]=P[5,4]=P[6,5]= exp(-th)
	P[,6]  = 1-exp(-th)
	return(P)}

lim.verd = 
function(matrix) {
	et 	= matrix(nrow=1, ncol=dim(matrix)[2], data=1)
	E	= matrix(nrow=dim(matrix)[1], ncol=dim(matrix)[2], data=1)
	mat 	= diag(dim(matrix)[1]) - matrix + E
	inverse.mat = solve(mat)
	pi 	= et %*% inverse.mat
	return(pi)}

a.hat  	= 0.8888
lambda.hat 	= 0.1474
int = 
function(theta, s, a, lambda) {
	a      = a.hat
	lambda = lambda.hat
	f.dist = gamma(a)^(-1) * a^a * theta^(a-1) * exp(-a*theta) # numeric
	pi     = lim.verd(PM((lambda*theta))) # a 1x6-matrix
	return(pi[1,s+1]*f.dist)}
integrate(int,lower=0.0001,upper=10,s=2)
If I try int(0.1,2) a get a numerical result. However, once I use integrate,
I get the following. > integrate(int,lower=0.0001,upper=10,s=2)Error in P[1, 1] = exp(-th) : 
  number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length
I've searched the internet, but I haven't been able to find a solution
to
this yet. Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance!

[R] Integration problem: error in invoking an outside function

Frank,

The trouble is that your integrand function `int' is not vectorized.  You
can use `Vectorize' or `sapply' to rectify this.


int.vec = function(theta, s, a, lambda) {
	sapply(theta, function(t,s,a,lambda) int(t,s,a,lambda), s=s, a=a,
lambda=lambda)
}

integrate(int.vec,lower=0.0001,upper=10,s=2)

When I do this I get the following answer:
> integrate(int.vec,lower=0.0001,upper=10,s=2)
0.06224828 with absolute error < 9.4e-05>

Note:  The code that you posted is incorrect and not reproducible.

	pi     = lim.verd(PM((lambda*theta))) # a 1x6-matrix

The function `PM' is undefined. This should have been:

	pi     = lim.verd(Pmatrix((lambda*theta))) # a 1x6-matrix

Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Dear all,

Currently I am trying to integrate a function which depends on four
variables, two of which are given, one is given in the integrate function,
so there is one variable to integrate on.

The code is as follows:
Pmatrix = 
function(th) {
	P      = matrix(nrow=6, ncol=6, data=0)
	P[1,1] = P[2,1]=P[3,2]=P[4,3]=P[5,4]=P[6,5]= exp(-th)
	P[,6]  = 1-exp(-th)
	return(P)}

lim.verd = 
function(matrix) {
	et 	= matrix(nrow=1, ncol=dim(matrix)[2], data=1)
	E	= matrix(nrow=dim(matrix)[1], ncol=dim(matrix)[2], data=1)
	mat 	= diag(dim(matrix)[1]) - matrix + E
	inverse.mat = solve(mat)
	pi 	= et %*% inverse.mat
	return(pi)}

a.hat  	= 0.8888
lambda.hat 	= 0.1474
int = 
function(theta, s, a, lambda) {
	a      = a.hat
	lambda = lambda.hat
	f.dist = gamma(a)^(-1) * a^a * theta^(a-1) * exp(-a*theta) # numeric
	pi     = lim.verd(PM((lambda*theta))) # a 1x6-matrix
	return(pi[1,s+1]*f.dist)}
integrate(int,lower=0.0001,upper=10,s=2)
If I try int(0.1,2) a get a numerical result. However, once I use integrate,
I get the following. > integrate(int,lower=0.0001,upper=10,s=2)Error in P[1, 1] = exp(-th) : 
  number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length
I've searched the internet, but I haven't been able to find a solution
to
this yet. Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance!

Not a good idea to redefine pi. It's been tried before with laughable  
results.

The integrate function generates a sequence, ie. a vector, passed to  
the first argument, theta in this case, which is then multiplied by a  
scalar, lambda, before passing it as an argument to PM (which I assume  
is what you posted as Pmatrix) where it is given to exp() and then an  
attempt is made to assign to P[6,5] which fails, throwing the error.

Learn some debugging strategies.
