Trying to use constrOptim to minimize the sum of squared deviations. I put the objective function in as: sum((x %*% Y - Z)^2) so i'm trying to get values for x to minimize the sum of the squared deviations between the product of x and Y and Z. Anyways i have no problem using this when x is a 3x1 test variable. it works great with the constraints and everything. when i actually use it on

i'm trying to use the BB package to minimize the sum of the squared deviations for 2 vectors. The only thing am having trouble with is defining the project constraint. I got the upper and lower bounds to work but i am not sure how to create a constraint that the sum of x must be 1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context:
