Hi guys, I have a code in R and it was work well but when I decrease the epsilon value (indicated in the code) , then I am getting this error Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)? any help please y = 6.8; w = 7.4; z = 5.7; muy = 7; muw = 7; muz = 6; sigmay = 0.8; sigmaz = 0.76; sigmaw = 0.3; betayx = 0.03; betayz = 0.3; betayw = 0.67 s = c(3.2,0.8) em = function(W,s) { a= 1/2*(1/s[2]^2+betayx^2/sigmay^2); b(y-muy+betayx*s[1]-betayz*(z-muz)-betayw*(w-muw))*betayx/sigmay^2+s[1]/s[2]^2; c=(1/2)*((y-muy+betayx*s[1]-betayz*(z-muz)-betayw*(w-muw))*betayx/sigmay^2+s[1]/s[2]^2)^2/(1/s[2]^2+betayx^2/sigmay^2); V = exp(-c+b^2/(4*a))/sqrt(pi/(1/(2*s[2]^2)+(1/2)*betayx^2/sigmay^2)); Omega = V*sqrt(pi/a); A = 4*a^2*Omega*betayx^2/sigmay^2; B = 4*a^2; C = 2*a*b*Omega; d (2*a*b*Omega*betayx^2/sigmay^2)-(4*a^2*Omega*(y-muy-betayz*(z-muz)-betayw*(w-muw))*betayx/sigmay^2); E = 2*a*Omega+b^2*Omega; lambda = A*B; alpha = 2*A*C+d*B; delta = A*E+B^2+2*d*C; eta = C*B+d*E; s[1]=(1/6)*(-36*delta*alpha*lambda+108*eta*lambda^2+8*alpha^3+12*sqrt(3)*sqrt(4*delta^3*lambda-delta^2*alpha^2-18*delta*alpha*lambda*eta+27*eta^2*lambda^2+4*eta*alpha^3)*lambda)^(1/3)/lambda+(2/3)*(-3*delta*lambda+alpha^2)/(lambda*(-36*delta*alpha*lambda+108*eta*lambda^2+8*alpha^3+12*sqrt(3)*sqrt(4*delta^3*lambda-delta^2*alpha^2-18*delta*alpha*lambda*eta+27*eta^2*lambda^2+4*eta*alpha^3)*lambda)^(1/3))+(1/3)*alpha/lambda; s[2]=sqrt((B*s[1]^2-2*C*s[1]+E)/B); s } epsilon =0.0005 iter = function(W, s) { s1 = em(W,s) for (i in 1:2) { if (abs(s[i]-s1[i]) > epsilon) { s=s1 iter(W,s) } else s1 } s1 } iter(W,s) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Error-evaluation-nested-too-deeply-tp2322701p2322701.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
