Using optim function for logistic model simulation
...c*birds + b*birds*(1-birds/K) where c = mortality, b = birth rate, and K = carrying capacity. I'm trying to find the optimal value of K and I've been using the optim function. The problem is that it doesn't really work. My code is below: b<-1.22 c<-0.55 bird<-bird.density[0] eqn1<- function(K1, bird) { for (i in 1:8) { b<-1.22 c<-0.55 bird <- 0.55*bird + b*bird*1-b*bird*bird/K } } k1<-optim(c(0,10),eqn) I realize this is a painfully amateurish question, but I really appreciate any help! The other tricky part about this is that it looks like there ar...
