...0.005,0.005) has very high density close to the boundary (theta=0). So even letting "lo = c(0.0001,0.0001)" will cause some loss of probability mass in the integral computation. I was wondering if anybody has encountered the similar problem before. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks. Muhtar Osman Dept.of Stats NCSU

Dear All, There are two things about mle() that I wasn't so sure. 1) can mle() handle vector based parameter? say ll<-function(theta=rep(1,20)){..............} I tried such function, it worked for "optim" but not for "mle". 2) is there a general suggestion for the maximum number of parameters allowed to use in mle() or optim()? Thank you. Regards, MJO

Dear All, Maybe it is a silly question. But I wasn't able to find it from manual or R site search. I was wondering what is the corresponding time axis for survival function outputs in "survfit". I think it is "survfit(.......)$time", but not 100% sure. If it is, is it possible we could make survival function outputs on the pre-specified time grid with fixed increment and

Hello Everyone,   Learning about R and its wonderful array of functions. If it's not obvious, I usually try to find out what a function stands for. I think this helps me remember better.   One function that has me stumped is "sink." Can anyone tell me if this stands for something?   Thanks,   Paul         __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML
