Hi, Is this method broken in R? I am using it to find roots of the following function: f(x) = 2.5*exp(-0.5*(2*0.045 - x)) + 2.5*exp(-0.045) + 2.5*exp(-1.5*x) - 100 It is giving an answer of -38.4762403 which is not even close (f(x) = 2.903809e+25 for x=-38.4762403). The answer should be around 0.01-0.1. This function should converge.. Even for a simple function like f(x) = exp(-x) * x, it gives

Dear R members, I have been trying to find out whether one can use multivariate regression trees (for example mvpart) to analyze repeated measures data. As a non-parametric technique, CART is insensitive to most of the assumptions of parametric regression, but repeated measures data raises the issue of the independence of several data points measured on the same subject, or from the same plot
