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 R users, i would like to transform the following function from R-code to C-code and call it from R in order to speed up the computation because in my other functions this function is called many times. `dgcpois` <- function(z, lambda1, lambda2) { `f1` <- function(alpha, lambda1, lambda2) return(exp(log(lambda1) * (alpha - 1) - lambda2 * lgamma(alpha))) `f2` <-

How to convert the following ms() in Splus to Optim in R? The "Calc" function is also attached. ms(~ Calc(a.init, B, v, off, d, P.a, lambda.a, P.y, lambda.y, 10^(-8), FALSE, 20, TRUE)$Bic, start = list(lambda.a = 0.5, lambda.y = 240), control = list(maxiter = 10, tol = 0.1)) Calc <- function(A.INIT., X., V., OFF., D., P1., LAMBDA1., P2., LAMBDA2., TOL., MONITOR.,

I use "while" loop but it produces an errro. I have no idea about this. Error in "[<-"(`*tmp*`, i, value = numeric(0)) : nothing to replace with The problem description is The likelihood includes two parameters to be estimated: lambda (=beta0+beta1*x) and alpha. The algorithm for the estimation is as following: 1) with alpha=0, estimate lambda (estimate beta0

Any one know is there any package or function to generate bivariate exponential distribution? I gusee there should be three parameters, two rate parameters and one correlation parameter. I just did not find any function available on R. Any suggestion is appreciated. -- View this message in context:

The following R code using different packages gives the same results for a simple logistic regression without regularization, but different results with regularization. This may just be a matter of different scaling of the regularization parameters, but if anyone familiar with these packages has insight into why the results differ, I'd appreciate hearing about it. I'm new to

Hey all, I am trying to work under a State Space form, but I didn't get the help exactly. Have anyone eles used this functions? I was used to work with S-PLUS, but I have some codes I need to adpt. Thanks alot, Bernardo [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R and S users, I've been working on fitting finite mixture of negative exponential distributions using maximum likelihood based on the example given in MASS. So far I had much success in fitting two components. The problem started when I tried to extend the procedure to fit three components. More specifically, likelihood = sum( ln(c1*exp(-x/lambda1)/lambda1 + c2*exp(-x/lambda2)/lambda2

Hi all, I am attempting to fit, and test the goodness of fit of, a mixed exponential distribution to my dataset which consists of 15minute rainfall intensity data. FYI, the dataset spanning approx.2 years and 7 rainfall stations consists of some three hundred thousand 15min data records, of which some 30 thousand are non-zero rainfall amounts. Could anyone please tell me how i could do

i want to estimate parameters with maximum likelihood method with contraints (contant numbers). for example sum(Ai)=0 and sum(Bi)=0 i have done it without the constraints but i realised that i have to use the contraints. Without constraints(just a part-not complete): skellamreg_LL=function(parameters,z,design) { n=length(z); mu=parameters[1]; H=parameters[2]; Apar=parameters[3:10];

Dear all, I have two functions (f1, f2) and 4 unknown parameters (p1, p2, p3, p4). Both f1 and f2 are functions of p1, p2, and p3, denoted by f1(p1, p2, p3) and f2(p1,p2,p3) respectively. The goal is to maximize f1(p1, p2, p3) subject to two constraints: (1) c = k1*p4/(k1*p4+(1-k1)*f1(p1,p2,p3)), where c and k1 are some known constants (2) p4 = f2(p1, p2, p3) In addition, each parameter

Dear R users, I am using "enet" package in R for applying "elastic net" method. In elastic net, two penalities are applied one is lambda1 for LASSO and lambda2 for ridge ( zou, 2005) penalty. But while running the analysis, I realised tht, I optimised only one lambda. ( even when I looked at the example in R, they used only one penality) So, I am

Hello, The likelihood includes two parameters to be estimated: lambda (=beta0+beta1*x) and alpha. The algorithm for the estimation is as following: 1) with alpha=0, estimate lambda (estimate beta0 and beta1 via GLM) 2) with lambda, estimate alpha via ML estimation 3) with updataed alpha, replicate 1) and 2) until alpha is converged to a value I coded 1) and 2) (it works), but faced some

Hi, My name is Laura. I'm a PhD student at Queen's University Belfast and have just started learning R. I was wondering if somebody could help me to see where I am going wrong in my code for estimating the parameters [mu1, mu2, lambda1] of a 2-phase Coxian Distribution. cox2.lik<-function(theta, y){ mu1<-theta[1] mu2<-theta[2] lambda1<-theta[3]

Hi dear R-users I try to reproduce the steps included in a LDA. Concerning the eigenvectors there is a difference to SPSS. In my textbook (Bortz) it says, that the matrix with the eigenvectors V usually are not normalized to the length of 1, but in the way that the following holds (SPSS does the same thing): t(Vstar)%*%Derror%*%Vstar = I where Vstar are the normalized eigenvectors.

Dear all I want to simulate a stochastic jump variance process where N is Bernoulli with intensity lambda0 + lambda1*Vt. lambda0 is constant and lambda1 can be interpreted as a regression coefficient on the current variance level Vt. J is a scaling factor How can I rewrite this avoiding the loop structure which is very time-consuming for long simulations? for (i in 1:N){ ... N <- rbinom(n=1,

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),
