Hi all; I recently have been used 'maxLik' function for maximizing G2StNV178 function with gradient function gradlik; for receiving this goal, I write the following program; but I have been seen an error  in calling gradient  function; The maxLik function can't enter gradlik function (definition of gradient function); I guess my mistake is in line ******** ,that the vector  ‘h’ is

Dear Rhelpers I have the problem with initial values, could you please tell me how to solve it? Thank you June > p = summary(maxLik(fr,start=c(0,0,0,1,0,-25,-0.2))) Error in maxRoutine(fn = logLik, grad = grad, hess = hess, start = start, : NA in the initial gradient > p = summary(maxLik(fr,start=c(0,0,0,1,0,-25,-0.2),method="BFGS")) Error in optim(start, func, gr =

Hi R-users, Recently, I use maxNR function to find maximizer. I have error appears as follows Error in maxNRCompute(fn = fn, grad = grad, hess = hess, start = start, : NA in the initial gradient My code is mu=2 s=1 n=300 library(maxLik) set.seed(1004) x<-rcauchy(n,mu,s) loglik<-function(mu) { log(prod(dcauchy(x,mu,s))) } maxNR(loglik,start=median(x))$estimate Does anyone know how

Dear Sir\ Madam  I am trying to maximise a complicated loglikelihood function  via EM algorithm which consists of two step "E-step and M-step"and in this case I need to maximize the expected of like lihood function " which I get from E- step" and take those estimates of parameter to update the E-step and repate these till convargence has been met. So I need to know if I

Hi I have been having issue with a ML estimator for Jump diffusion process but know I am get little error I didn't notice before like I am try to create a vector > #GBMPJ MLE Combined Ph 1 LR > # > n<-length(combinedlrph1) > j<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) Error in c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) : unused argument(s) (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) >

Dear R users, I am new to R. I would like to find *maximum likelihood estimators for psi and alpha* based on the following *log likelihood function*, c is consumption data comprising 148 entries: fn<-function(c,psi,alpha) { s1<-sum(for(i in 1:n){(c[i]-(psi^(-1/alpha)*(lag(c[i],-1))))^2* (lag(c[i],-1)^((-2)*(alpha+1)) )}); s2<- sum(for(m in 1:n){log(lag(c[m],-1)^(((2)*alpha)+2))});

Hi, I have been using maxLik to do some MLE of Geometric Brownian Motion Process and everything has been going fine, but know I have tried to do it with jumps. I have create a vector of jumps and then added this into my log-likelihood equation, know I am getting a message: NA in the initial gradient My codes is hear # n<-length(combinedlr) j<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

Hello R community, I have been using R's inbuilt maximum likelihood functions, for the different methods (NR, BFGS, etc). I have figured out how to use all of them except the maxBHHH function. This one is different from the others as it requires an observation level gradient. I am using the following syntax: maxBHHH(logLik,grad=nuGradient,finalHessian="BHHH",start=prm,iterlim=2)

I am trying to code a steepest ascent algorithm to optimize parameters used in a survivor function type problem. My unknown parameters (alpha, Beta0, and Beta1) for which I have been able to optimize using Newton's method. I keep getting an error because my alpha becomes negative and I can't calculate the likelihood. Here is my log likelihood I am optimizing (in LaTex): l=\sum _{ i=1 }^{

Hi all. Recently i have been used maxlik package for optimizing a function with 5 parameters but i couldn't define gradient argument in function maxLik; How i can define a command to receive my goal? Whether I can change the core of this package?   Thanks for your attention and reply A. kheradmandi [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi R users, I am trying to restrct the range of two of the parameters in a maximization problem. Both parameters should be between -1 and 1. As far as I know, if I choose the estimation method ="L-BFGS-B" under Optim, I can restrict the parameter space. However, the "L-BFGS-B" always require finite values of the loglik function and cannot get around of the problem if an

Dear addresses, I need perform a batch of 10 000 simulations for each of 4 options considered. (The idea is to obtain the parameter estimates in a heteroskedastic linear regression model - with additive or mixed heteroskedasticity - via the Kenward-Roger small-sample adjusted covariance matrix of disturbances). For this purpose I wrote an R program which would capture all possible options (true

In that case, I can't work out why the first model fails but not the second. I would start looking at "Data" to see what it contains. if: object2 <- polr(Inc ~ Training ,Data,Hess = T,method = "logistic" ) works, the problem may be with the "Adopt" variable.

Hi, I'm using maxlik with functions specified (L, his gradient & hessian). Now I would like determine some robust standard errors of my estimators. So I 'm try to use vcovHC, or hccm or robcov for example but in use one of them with my result of maxlik, I've a the following error message : Erreur dans terms.default(object) : no terms component Is there some attributes

Dear R Users: We have splitted up the micEcon package into three packages: a) Package "maxLik" provides tools for maximum likelihood estimations (see http://www.maxLik.org). b) Package "sampleSelection" provides tools for estimating Heckman-type sample selection/generalized tobit models (see http://www.sampleSelection.org). c) Package "micEcon" contains the

Hi R-helpers, Is it possible that I have the estimates from each step/iteration shown on the computer screen in order to monitor the process while I am using Optim or MaxLik? Thanks for your help. Maomao [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Greetings, I use maxNR function under maxLik package to find the REML estimates of the parameters of variance components in heteroskedastic linear regression models. I assume that in the model there is additive/multiplicative/mixed heteroskedasticity and I need estimate the respective parameters of additive/multiplicative/mixed variance components. For my research purposes I make a

Dear: I am having problem with simulation. Sometimes for 100 iteration, my program works but sometimes give error message regarding some "built-in function" which I never used in my code. I have no idea about the problem. Any suggestion, comments or idea regarding this would be highly appreciable. Thanks. I have used ---- "maxLik()" and "BBsolve()" in my code. Error
