Hi, I'm quite knew in R, so I might not have the R specific jargon. But here is my problem, I'm trying to access and use variabels given by a function environment, more specifically the rho in do_optim in src/main/optim.c According to the documentation http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-ints.html#The-_0027data_0027 the envsxp is defined as a tagged pairlist. "ENVSXP: Pointers to the frame, enclosing environment and hash table (NULL or a VECSXP). A frame is a tagged pairlist with tag t...

Dear R experts, I looked at the body of, say, `optim' function and found the call to the `.Internal', C optim function. It looks like this: .Internal(optim(par, fn1, gr1, method, con, lower, upper)) On the other hand, the C prototype of optim is: SEXP do_optim(SEXP call, SEXP op, SEXP args, SEXP rho); So, I guess that all the list of parameters passing in R are assigned to `args', right? First, how is that implemented? I looked at the `.Call()' - as I understand, it requires for C-side the same number of parametrs (minus the function name...

In the optim() function there is a syntax : res <- .Internal(optim(par, fn1, gr1, method, con, lower, Here how can I see the inside-codes of ".Internal" function ?

Hello, I'm working with the function optim() from stats package, and inside this function is called the function .Internal(optim(....)) and I want to get the code of this function which would help me to understand why the Nelder-Mead algorithm doesn't converge with my data. I'm working under Windows XP. Could you reply to this adress because I don't belong to the mailing list
