linear constraint optim with bounds/reparametrization
Hello All,
I would like to optimize a (log-)likelihood function subject to a number of
linear constraints between parameters. These constraints are equality
constraints of the form A%*%theta=c, ie (1,1) %*% 0.8,0.2)^t = 1 meaning
that these parameters should sum to one. Moreover, there are bounds on the
individual parameters, in most cases that I am considering parameters are
bound between zero

Giving a first good impression of R to Social Scientists
Dear all,
in the coming Winter Semester, I will be a teaching assistant for a course
in Survival Analysis. My job will be to do the lab sessions. The software
used for these lab sessions will be R. Most of the students have a
background in social sciences and the only stats package they used so far is
most likely SPSS.
So I assume they might be quite surprised the first time they see R
