trouble using optim for maximalisation of 2-parameter function
...stimation, but i wrote the likelihood function myself because of data issues ] When I try to optimize a function for only one parameter there is no problem: llik.expo<-function(x,lam){(length(x)*log(lam))-(length(x)*log(1-exp(-1*lam* *cons*)))-lam*sum(x)} cons<- data<-c(.............) expomx<-optimize(llik.expo,c(0,100),maximum=TRUE,tol=0.0001,x=data) expomx To optimize to two parameters you can't use "optimize", so I tried the following to test my input: > llik.nor<-function(x,theta){mu<-theta[1];sig<-theta[2];-length(x)*log(sqrt(2*pi))-length(x)*log(s...
