GENERAL REFERENCE ON NONLINEAR OPTIMIZATION? What are your favorite references on nonlinear optimization? I like Bates and Watts (1988) Nonlinear Regression Analysis and Its Applications (Wiley), especially for its key insights regarding parameter effects vs. intrinsic curvature. Before I spent time and money on several of the refences cited on the help pages for "optim",

Hello: Below is a toy logistic regression problem. When I wrote my own code, Newton-Raphson converged in three iterations using both the gradient and the Hessian and the starting values given below. But I can't get nlm() to work! I would much appreciate any help. > x [1] 10.2 7.7 5.1 3.8 2.6 > y [1] 9 8 3 2 1 > n [1] 10 9 6 8 10 derfs4=function(b,x,y,n) {

Dear R-users, within the rgl-package, I would have a question about the usage of persp3d in combination of rgl.viewpoint. I am not able to figure out how to let a 3D plot rotating around likewise the example in ?rgl.viewpoint. It seems that when I use persp3d(...) I see something on my screen, which is different from what I get when it's rotating. Is there any different behavior between

Dear R-users, I would like to place two 3D plots side-by-side in a rgl-setting. It would nice to have something like "par(mfrow=c(1,2))" for basic plots, or an array framework for wireframe(lattice) (see example below). I only managed to overlap two persp3d plots. My final idea would be to animate both surfaces using play3d(rgl). Thanks in advance for any help. Best, Carlo Giovanni

Dear R-users, I am going to try to be as clearer as possible, showing also an example. 1) I have a function (in my real case it's much more complex) 2) I use "optim" to minimize 3) I want to use as method L-BFGS-B for several reasons 4) I know I could use "trace=6" (in "control") in order to see "live" the procedure 5) I would like to see separately the

Dear R-users, I am working with some grid-search optimization for 13 values of an object function. At glance one may compute the object function for each possible combination of set of parameters, but in my case would not be feasible: taking for example 13 possible values for each parameters like, in logarithm scale, 10^seq(-3,3,.5) will lead to 13^13 combinations of results. As a second trial

Hello, I am trying to compute MLE for non-Gaussian AR(1). The error term follows a difference poisson distribution. This distribution has one parameter (vector[2]). So in total I want to estimate two parameters: the AR(1) paramter (vector[1]) and the distribution parameter. My function is the negative loglikelihood derived from a mixing operator. f=function(vector)

Dear expeRts, first of all I'd like to thank you for the quick help on my last which() problem. Here is another one I could not tackle: I have data on an absorption measurement which I want to fit with an voigt profile: fn.1 <- function(p){ for (i1 in ilong){ ff <- f[i1] ex[i1] <- exp(S*n*L*voigt(u,v,ff,p[1],p[2],p[3])[[1]]) } sum((t-ex)^2) } out <-

Hi, Where can I find the source code for nlm()? I dowloaded the R2.8.1.tar.gz file and looked at all the .c and .f files, but couldn't find either nlm.c or nlm.f There is an nlm.r file, but that is not useful. Thanks for any help, Ravi. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Ravi Varadhan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, The Center on Aging

I am trying to use the function "nlm" to find the mle. I want to use a generic function for the likelihood which would require me to use both the parameters and the data as arguments. But nlm requires the function to have only the parameters as arguments for this function (see example below). > testfun <- function(x,y) sum((x-y)^2) # x - parameters, y - data >

Hi, I tried to compute maximum likelihood under gamma distribution, using nlm function. The code is this: __BEGIN__ vsamples<- c(103.9, 88.5, 242.9, 206.6, 175.7, 164.4) mlogl <- function(alpha, x) { if (length(alpha) > 1) stop("alpha must be scalar") if (alpha <= 0) stop("alpha must be positive") return(- sum(dgamma(x, shape = alpha, log = TRUE)))

I'm looking for an example of a simple R script that impliments a contrained nonlinear function using nlm or optim. I'm not exactly sure how to impliment the constraints within the objective function that is passed to nlm/optim. obj.func <- function( p ) { x(p) <- unconstrained obj function value if( constraint1 > something ) { obj.func <- x(p) } else {

Dear R users, I am trying to find the mle that involves integration. I am using the following code and get an error when I use the nlm function d<-matrix(c(1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,2,2,1,0),nrow=10,ncol=2) h<-matrix(runif(20,0,1),10) integ<-matrix(c(0),nrow=10, ncol=2) ll<-function(p){ for (k in 1:2){ for(s in 1:10){ integrand<-function(x)

Hi all, I have been trying the nlm function but received an error message which reads: Error in nlm(intensities ~ f, c(epsilon.spec.start, epsilon.unspec.start, : invalid function value in 'nlm' optimizer The message is generated somewhere in the compiled part, apparently within the function static void fcn(int n, const double x[], double *f, function_info *state) where a jump

Hello, I'd like to draw a graphic using different color line segments to represent microarray data. It simply likes this: Data=cbind(c(1, 2, -1, 3, -2.2), c(1, 3, -1, -1.8, 4)) The first col No represents y'axis position (negative down and positive up). The second col No represents a length of segment (negative segment should be on left of y, and positive on right). Also the

Hello, I am trying to understand a small quirk I came across in R. The following code results in an error: k <- c(2, 1, 1, 5, 5) f <- c(1, 1, 1, 3, 2) loglikelihood <- function(theta,k,f){ if( theta<1 && theta>0 ) return(-1*sum(log(choose(k,f))+f*log(theta)+(k-f)*log(1-theta))) return(NA) } nlm(loglikelihood ,0.5, k, f ) Running this code results in: Error

Hi R-Gurus, I've been cutting along quite nicely with nlm, until I threw in the following condition in the function that nlm is minimising: if (((term*bexp) < 0.0001)) { #warning(term*bexp, "=term*bexp",psi,"=psi") theta<-2000 } Now when I run this function anywhere else, there is no problem, whether or the if's condition is met.
