Colleagues, I am trying to learn to use uniroot to solve a simple linear equation. I define the function, prove the function and a call to the function works. When I try to use uniroot to solve the equation I get an error message, Error in yfu n(x,10,20) : object 'x' not found. I hope someone can tell we how I can fix the problem if(...

I am calling the uniroot function from inside another function using these lines (last two lines of the function) : d <- uniroot(k, c(.001, 250), tol=.05) return(d$root) The problem is that on occasion there's a problem with the values I'm passing to uniroot. In those instances uniroot stops and sends a messag...

Hi, I'm using the uniroot function, and would like to detect an error which occurs, for instance, when the values at endpoints are not of opposite signs. For example: uniroot( function(x) x^2+1, lower=1, upper=2 ). I want to say something like: if "error in uniroot(...)" return NA else return uniroot$root Than...

Dear all I am trying to calculate the value of n using uniroot. Here is the message I am having: <<< Error in uniroot(integ, lower = 0, upper = 1000, n) : 'interval' must be a vector of length 2 >>> Please would you be able to give me an indication on why I am having this error message. Many thanks EXAMPLE BELOW: ## t = s...

This below is not solvable with uniroot to find "a": fn=function(a){ b=(0.7/a)-a (1/(a+b+1))-0.0025 } uniroot(fn,c(-500,500)) gives "Error in uniroot(fn, c(-500, 500)) : f() values at end points not of opposite sign" I read R-help posts and someone wrote a function: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/92...

In looking at rootfinding for the histoRicalg project (see gitlab.com/nashjc/histoRicalg), I thought I would check how uniroot() solves some problems. The following short example ff <- function(x){ exp(0.5*x) - 2 } ff(2) ff(1) uniroot(ff, 0, 10) uniroot(ff, c(0, 10), trace=1) uniroot(ff, c(0, 10), trace=TRUE) shows that the trace parameter, as described in the Rd file, does not seem to be functional except in limited...

curiosity---given that vector operations are so much faster than scalar operations, would it make sense to make uniroot vectorized? if I read the uniroot docs correctly, uniroot() calls an external C routine which seems to be a scalar function. that must be slow. I am thinking a vectorized version would be useful for an example such as of <- function(x,a) ( log(x)+x+a ) uniroot( of, c( 1e-7, 100 ), a=rnor...

I have a strange problem with uniroot() function. Here is the result : > uniroot(th, c(-20, 20)) $root [1] 4.216521e-05 $f.root [1] 16.66423 $iter [1] 27 $estim.prec [1] 6.103516e-05 Pls forgive for not reproducing whole code, here my question is how "f.root" can be 16.66423? As it is finding root of a function, it mu...

I have one equation, two unknowns, so I am trying to build the solution set by running through possible values for one unknown, and then using uniroot to solve for the accompanying second solution, then graphing the two vectors. p0 = .36 f = function(x) 0.29 * exp(5.66*(x - p0)) f.integral = integrate(f, p0, 1) p1 = p0 + .01 i = 1 n = (1 - p0)/.01 p1.vector = rep(0,n) p2.vector = rep(0,n) for (i in 1:n) { p1.vector[i] = p1 fcn = function(p2) p...

Dear All I am trying to find a uniroot of a function within another function (see example) but I am getting an error message (f()values at end points not of opposite sign). I was wondering if you would be able to advise how redefine my function so that I can find the solution. In short my first function calculates the intergrale which i...

Dear all, I have the following problem with the uniroot function. I want to find roots for the fucntion "Fp2" which is defined as below. Fz <- function(z){0.8*pnorm(z)+p1*pnorm(z-u1)+(0.2-p1)*pnorm(z-u2)} Fp <- function(t){(1-Fz(abs(qnorm(1-(t/2)))))+(Fz(-abs(qnorm(1-(t/2)))))} Fp2 <- function(t) {Fp(t)-0.8*t/alpha} th <-...

...an m-alternative forced choice experiment, given the probability of a correct response, Pc, a Gaussian assumption for the noise and no bias. The function that I wrote below gives me an error: Error in f(x, ...) : recursive default argument reference The problem seems to be at the statement using uniroot, because the furntion est.dp works fine outside of the main function. I've been using R for awhile but there are still many nuances about the scoping and the use of environments that I'm weak on and would like to understand better. I would appreciate any suggestions or solutions that anyon...

Hi, I have tried to use uniroot to solve a value (value a in my function) that gives f=0, and I repeat this process for 10000 times(stimulations). However error occures from the 4625th stimulation - Error in uniroot(f, c(0, 2), maxiter = 1000, tol = 0.001) : f() values at end points not of opposite sign I have also tried inte...

Hello, I am struggling to find the root of a exponent function. "uniroot" is complaining about a values at end points not of opposite sign? s<- sapply(1:length(w),function(i) + { + + + + + uniroot(saeqn,lower=-5000,upper=0.01036597923,l=list(t=w[i],gp=gp))$root + }) Error in uniroot(saeqn, lower = -5000, upper = 0.01036597923, l = list(t = w[i], :...

Hi all, This is probably a blindingly obvious question: Why does it matter in the uniroot function whether the f() values at the end points that you supply are of the same sign? For example: f <- function(x,y) {y-x^2+1} #this gives a warning uniroot(f,interval=c(-5,5),y=0) Error in uniroot(f, interval=c(-5, 5), y = 0) : f() values at end points not of opposite sign #this doesn...

A recent message on ansari.test() prompted me to play with the examples. This doesn't work for me in R version 2.4.1 R> ansari.test(rnorm(100), rnorm(100, 0, 2), conf.int = TRUE) Error in uniroot(ab, srange, tol = 1e-04, zq = qnorm(alpha/2, lower = FALSE)) : object "ab" not found It looks like there's a small typo in ccia() inside ansari.test.default() in which 'ab' is passed to uniroot rather than 'ab2'. The definition of ccia below was just copied from http...
