my problem actually arised with fitting the data to the weibulldistribution, where it is hard to see, if the proposed parameterestimates make sense. data1:2743;4678;21427;6194;10286;1505;12811;2161;6853;2625;14542;694;11491; ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 14924;28640;17097;2136;5308;3477;91301;11488;3860;64114;14334 how am I supposed to know what starting values i have to take? i get different

fitting distributions with R
...I tried to get parameterestimates for the exponentialdistribution with R, but as the values of the parameter are very close to 0 i get into troubles. Do you know, what i could do in order to get estimates?How do you choose the starting values? in my opinion it should be around 1/mean(data). #Parameterestimation ??with mle() with the log-likelihood funktion of the ?? #exponentialdistribution library(stats4) ll<-function(beta) {n<-24 x<-data2 -n*log(beta)+beta*sum(x)} est<-mle(minuslog=ll, start=list(beta=0.1)) summary(est) #instead of a result, i get: Error in optim(start, f, method = m...

conversion from SAS
Hi, I wonder if anybody could help me in converting this easy SAS program into R. (I'm still trying to do that!) PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.CHLA_italian DATAFILE= "C:\Documents and Settings\carleal\My Documents\REBECCA\stat\sas\All&nutrients.xls" DBMS=EXCEL2000 REPLACE; GETNAMES=YES; RUN; data chla_italian; set chla_italian;

R lmer & SAS glimmix
Hi, I am trying to fit a model with lmer in R and proc glimmix in SAS. I have simplified my code but I am surprised to see I get different results from the two softwares. My R code is : lmer(y~age_cat + (1|cat),data=fic,family=binomial(link = "logit"), NaGQ=1) My SAS code is : ods output Glimmix.Glimmix.ParameterEstimates=t_estimates; proc glimmix data=tab_psi method=laplace;

Estimates at each iteration of optim()?
I am trying to maximise a complicated loglikelihood function with the "optim" command. Is there some way to get to know the estiamtes at each iteration? When I put "control=list(trace=TRUE)" as an option in "optim", I just got the initial and final values of the loglikelihood, number of iterations and whether the routine has converged or not. I need to know the
