Hessian in constrOptim
...rOptim there is an option to get an approximation to the hessian of the surrogate function R at MLE by declaring hessian=TRUE in the calls to the function optim. I would like to ask if it is advisable to get an approximate hessian for the funcrion f as follows: f''(theta)=R''(theta|theta_k)-B''(theta) where B''(theta)=mu*sum((g(theta_k)/g(theta)^2)u_i*u_i^T) denotes the second derivative of the barrier function (following the notation given by Lange (1999)) where R''(theta|theta_k) will be replaced by the approximate hessian at MLE returned by optim. Thanks...
