Likelihood returning inf values to optim(L-BFGS-B) other options?
Dear R-help list,
I am working on an optimization with R by evaluating a likelihood
function that contains lots of Gamma calculations (BGNBD: Hardie Fader
Lee 2005 Management Science). Since I am forced to implement lower
bounds for the four parameters included in the model, I chose the
optim() function mith L-BFGS-B as method. But the likelihood often
returns inf-values which L-BFGS-B can't deal with.
Are there any other o...
