Dear fellow R-users, Is there a function that does the bisection method? I was unable to find one. Thanks in advance. Gregory [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Hi Gregory, I have a function bisection.method() in the animation package, but it is mainly for demonstration purpose, so it is probably not what you really want for computation. Anyway, you may take a look at what it looks like before you decide: http://animation.yihui.name/compstat:bisection_method You may play with any univariate function f(x) once you install.packages('animation').
