Estimating regression with constraints in model coefficients - Follow-up on Constrained Ordinal Model — Optimized via COBYLA
...rs: ?A gradient for the objective function is needed by algorithm NLOPT_LD_SLSQP but was not supplied.? Even when using wrapper functions with NA values for gradient placeholders, the optimizer failed to recognize them. After multiple diagnostic attempts and some research, I shifted to: NLOPT_LN_COBYLA ? Derivative-Free Optimization This algorithm supports: ? Equality constraints (sum of ?? and ?? = 1.60) ? Bound constraints (per-element ? limits) Also - this does not require gradients. This made it the best practical option. Results The optimizer successfully converged (status: NLOPT_XTOL_REAC...

Constrained Nelder-Mead
All, In looking at `optim', it doesn't appear that it is possible to impose nonlinear constraints on Nelder- Mead. I am sufficiently motivated to try to code something in C from scratch and try to call it from R.... Does anyone have some good references to barrier and/or penalization methods for Nelder-Mead? I would ideally like some papers with pseudocode for method(s) that are in
