Hello, I want to find the roots of an equation in two variables. I am aware of the uniroot function, which can do this for a function with a single variable (as I understand it...) but cannot find a function that does this for an equation with more than one variable. I am looking for something implementing similar to a Newton-Raphson algorithm. Thanks. -- Bill Shipley North American Editor for

I used the command below, but R gives me the error message--syntax error. can anyone see the mistakes I made? optimize(function(x,y) + ((327.727-(1-0.114^10)*y*(1-x)/x/(1-x^y))+(9517.336-327.727 *(1+(1-x)*(1+y)/x-327.727)))^2 + interval=c(0,1)) At the same time, I use nlm() but R gives me the code $code [1] 3 function(vals) { x <- vals[1] y <- vals[2]
