Hi, Thanks for your mail, and time It is not working for some arguments, when mean value is like >6. case mc0 <- c(0.08844446,0.1744455,0.1379778,0.1209769,0.1573065,0. 1134463,0.2074027) rv <-UnivarMixingDistribution(Norm(486.4255, 53.24133), Norm(664.0713, 3.674773), Norm(669.0484, 4.101381),

Hello, could anybody direct me where to find code for optim.R? I was able to find the C code at http://docs.rexamine.com/R-devel/optim_8c.html, but the R version would be easier for me to work with and modify. Thank you! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'll not copy all the previous material on this thread to avoid overload. The summary is that all the methods Spencer has tried have some issues. The bad news: This is not uncommon with optimization methods, in part because the problems are "hard", in part because getting them implemented and linked to an interfacing approach like R is very tedious and prone to omissions and

Hi R-Help, I am using R to do functional outlier detection (using PCA to reduce to 2 dimensions - the functional boxplot methodology used in the Rainbow package), and using Hscv.diag function to calculate the bandwidth matrix where this line of code is run: result <- optim(diag(Hstart), scv.mat.temp, method = "Nelder-Mead", control = list(trace = as.numeric(verbose))) Within the

Dear Niharika, As I said before, the problem is basically an optimization issue. You should isolate the problematic part from the rest of your study. Sometimes, more information does not help to solution. All the answers from us (Ulrik, David, me) are more or less are correct to find a maximum point. Newton?s method is also correct. But after answers, you only say, it didn?t find the right

Dear R users I have tried to install the optimx but met problems. I have gone to the website you suggested: https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=395 and tried to install it with the following method: install.packages("optimx", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") I have received the following information: package 'numDeriv' successfully unpacked and MD5

Hi Reuben, I am puzzled to note that the gradient check in "optimx" does not work for you. Can you send me a reproducible example so that I can figure this out? John - I think the best solution for now is to issue a "warning" rather than an error message, when the numerical gradient is not sufficiently close to the user-specified gradient. Best, Ravi.

Dear R users When I use OPTIMX with BFGS, I've got the following error message. ----------------------------------------------------------------- > optimx(par=theta0, fn=obj.fy, gr=gr.fy, method="BFGS") Error: Gradient function might be wrong - check it! ----------------------------------------------------------------- So, I checked and checked my gradient function line by

Prof Nash, Prof Galanos Is it possible to use a generic code stub in front of packages that use optimx to improve optimx use or curtail it according to the requirements?

I have not followed the history of this thread, but I am quite flummoxed as to why the OP is rewriting code to estimate parameters from an univariate Gaussian mixture model when alternatives such as EMCluster (which generally appears to handle initialization better than MClust) exist. Or perhaps there is more to it in which case I apologize. But I thought that I would make the OP aware of the

Dear R users When I use OPTIM with BFGS, I've got a significant result without an error message. However, when I use OPTIMX with BFGS( or spg), I've got the following an error message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > optimx(par=theta0, fn=obj.fy, gr=gr.fy, method="BFGS", >

Dear all I want to compute Monte Carlo p-values in lmer-models based on sampled data sets. To speed up calculations, I've tried to use internal functions from the Matrix package (as suggested ealier on the list by Doug Bates). So I did: fm2 <- lmer(resistance ~ ET + position + (1|Grp), Semiconductor,method='ML') simdata<-simulate(fm2,nsim=1) ynew <- simdata[,1] mer

*** *** WHAT WOULD MAKE R EASIER TO USE FOR YOU? *** The useR! 2017 conference in Brussels, July 4-7, will include a session in which attendees will be invited to offer their thoughts in at least three areas: * A common interface for similar functions. For example, John C. Nash and others have taken the lead in developing packages to provide one standard call that will

Hi all, I've now got a problem with some modified lmer code (function lmer1 pasted at end) - I've made only three changes to the lmer code (marked), and I'm not really looking for comments on this function, but would like to know why execution of the following commands that use it almost invariably (but not quite predictably) leads to the R session terminating. Here's the command
