Dear List, I have the code below, where I am using the constrained optimisation package, 'constrOptim.nl' to find the values of two values, b0 and b1. I have no problems when I enter further variable information DIRECTLY into the functions, fn, and heq. In this instance I require fn to have -0.0075 appended to it, and in the case of heq, h[1] has -0.2. library(alabama)

Dear R users, I have a problem. I would like to solve the following: I have pL = 1/(1+e^(-b0+b1)) pM = 1/(1+e^(-b0)) pH = 1/(1+e^(-b0-b1)) My target function is TF= mean(pL,pM,pH) which must equal 0.5% My non-linear constraint is nl.Const = 1-(pM/pH), which must equal 20%, and would like the values of both b0 and b1 where these conditions are met. I have searched widely for an answer,

Good afternoon list, I have the following character strings; one with spaces between the maths operators and variable names, and one without said spaces. form<-c('~ Sentence + LEGAL + Intro + Intro / Intro1 + Intro * LEGAL + benefit + benefit / benefit1 + product + action * mean + CTA + help + mean * product')

Good morning R list, My apologies if this has *already* answered elsewhere, but I have not found the answer that I am looking for. I have a character string, i.e. form<-c('~ A + B + C + C / D + E + E / F + G + H + I + J + K + L * M') Now, my aim is to find the position of all those instances of '*' and to remove said '*'. However, I would also like to remove the

Hi, I think that there something wrong with the 'constrOptim' max/minimization function because she doesn?t send extra arguments to 'optim' call. Fact: When I use optim in a f(x,theta)-like function, everything goes ok. But using constrOptim with the same function leads to error... Proof: Make a small change in the 'Rosenbrock Banana function' (taken from the Examples

Dear all, There appears to be a bug in how constrOptim handles ... arguments that are suppose to be passed to optim, according to the documentation. This means you can't get the hessian to be returned, for example (so this is a real problem, and not just a question of mistaken documentation). Looking at the code, it appears that a call to the user-defined f includes the ..., when the ...

Dear friends. I am using function constrOptim(c(0.5,0.3,0.5), fit.error, fit.error.grr, ui=-1*ui,ci=-1*ci) and I am confronted with error message "initial value not feasible" I plug in the initial value of (0.5,0.3,0.5) to function fit.error and fit.error.grr and have pretty reasonable result. I inequality "ui %*% theta - ci >= 0" as suggested in the R manual and it is

Dear Friends. I found something very puzzling with constOptim(). When I change the parameters for ConstrOptim, the error messages do not seem to be consistent with each other: > constrOptim(c(0.5,0.3,0.5), f=fit.error, gr=fit.error.grr, ui=ui,ci=ci) Error in constrOptim(c(0.5, 0.3, 0.5), f = fit.error, gr = fit.error.grr, : initial value not feasible > constrOptim(c(0.5,0.9,0.5),

Hi All, I'm trying to do the following constrained optimization example. Maximize x1*(1-x1) + x2*(1-x2) + x3*(1-x3) s.t. x1 + x2 + x3 = 1 x1 >= 0 and x1 <= 1 x2 >= 0 and x2 <= 1 x3 >= 0 and x3 <= 1 which are the constraints. I'm expecting the answer x1=x2=x3 = 1/3. I tried the "constrOptim" function in R and I'm running into some issues. I first start off

I tried to define a function using another function I defined before, and the previous function has a vector as an argument, when I tried to get the graph of the new function, there was something going wrong. Here is a simple example to explain how it happend: fr1 <- function(x,y){ x^2+x*y+1 } fr2 <- function(x){ fr1(x,3) } plot(fr2) In this case, it worked just fine. But when I

Dear R users, I?m a graduate students and in my master thesis I must obtain the values of the parameters x_i which maximize this Multinomial log?likelihood function log(n!)-sum_{i=1]^4 log(n_i!)+sum_ {i=1}^4 n_i log(x_i) under the following constraints: a) sum_i x_i=1, x_i>=0, b) x_1<=x_2+x_3+x_4 c)x_2<=x_3+x_4 I have been using the ?ConstrOptim? R-function with the instructions

Hi, i have a function: zz<- (constrOptim(c(.5,0), fr, grr, ui=rbind(c(-1,0),c(1,-1)), ci=c(-0.9,0.1))) i can get the result by using command (for example): zz$par now if i can use multicore: zz<-parallel(constrOptim(c(.5,0), fr, grr, ui=rbind(c(-1,0),c(1,-1)), ci=c(-0.9,0.1))) result < collect(zz) i cant get my the result: result$par because multicore add process id. for example:

Dear list, The following example of constrOptim() where the initial point is the solution shows that the component counts is not a two-element vector as documented in the man page. constrOptim(c(1,1), fr, grr, ui = diag(2), ci = c(0,0)) Does anyone have the same behavior? A possible solution is to put line 69 in constrOptim.R before the first possible break line 67. Regards, Christophe

Dear friends. I use ConstrOptim( ) and got error message "initial value not available". My understanding of "initial value not available" is that one of the following 3 cases happens: 1.The objective function is not well defined at the point of the initial value. 2. The differentiation of the objective function is not well defined at the point of the initial value. 3. The

Dear list, I have been trying to use coxme in R 2.3.1. When I use coxme in the following data sim.fr1, i get "Warning messages: using 'as.environment(NULL)' is deprecated" Why does it occur? How can I hide such warning message, especially when coxme is under a loop? Mohammad Ehsanul Karim (Institute of Statistical Research and Training, University of Dhaka) >

Apparently nobody has a suggestion to why smbd process all of a sudden starts sucking CPU like crazy? Restarted samba and then restarting the entire server does not fix it. Searching the archives shows I'm not the only one with this problem. The archives do not show what to do about it yet. Grr... Redhat 9.0 Samba 3.04 ( I have 2.2.7 servers that have done this to me also) - Gary
