Hi r-users, I would like to solve system of nonlinear equation using BBsolve function and below is my code. I have 4 parameters and I have 4 eqns.
mgf_gammasum <- function(p) { t <- rep(NA, length(p)) mn <- 142.36 vr <- 9335.69 sk <- 0.8139635 kur <- 3.252591 rh <- 0.896 # cumulants k1 <- p[1]*(p[2]+p[3]) k2 <- p[1]*(2*p[2]*p[3]*p[4] +p[2]^2+p[3]^2) k3 <- 2*p[1]*(p[2]+p[3])*(p[2]^2 + p[3]^2 - p[2]*p[3] + 3*p[2]*p[3]*p[4]) k4 <- 6*p[1]*((p[2]+p[3])^2*(p[2]^2 + p[3]^2 - 2*p[2]*p[3] + 4*p[2]*p[3]*p[4])+ 2*p[2]^2*p[3]^2*(1-p[4])^2) t[1] <- k1 - mn t[2] <- k2 - vr t[3] <- k3/(k2^1.5) - sk t[4] <- k4/(k2^2) - kur t } I tried this p0 <- rep(0, 4) BBsolve(par = p0, fn = mgf_gammasum) dfsane(par = p0, fn = mgf_gammasum, control = list(trace = FALSE)) sane(par = p0, fn = mgf_gammasum, control = list(trace = FALSE)) and got the error message: > BBsolve(par = p0, fn = mgf_gammasum) Error in optim(par = par, fn = U, method = "Nelder-Mead", control = list(maxit = 100), : function cannot be evaluated at initial parameters Error in optim(par = par, fn = U, method = "Nelder-Mead", control = list(maxit = 100), : function cannot be evaluated at initial parameters Error in optim(par = par, fn = U, method = "Nelder-Mead", control = list(maxit = 100), : function cannot be evaluated at initial parameters Error in optim(par = par, fn = U, method = "Nelder-Mead", control = list(maxit = 100), : function cannot be evaluated at initial parameters Error in optim(par = par, fn = U, method = "Nelder-Mead", control = list(maxit = 100), : function cannot be evaluated at initial parameters Error in optim(par = par, fn = U, method = "Nelder-Mead", control = list(maxit = 100), : function cannot be evaluated at initial parameters Error in BBsolve(par = p0, fn = mgf_gammasum) : object "ans.best" not found > dfsane(par = p0, fn = mgf_gammasum, control = list(trace = FALSE)) Error in dfsane(par = p0, fn = mgf_gammasum, control = list(trace = FALSE)) : Failure in initial functional evaluation. > sane(par = p0, fn = mgf_gammasum, control = list(trace = FALSE)) Error in sane(par = p0, fn = mgf_gammasum, control = list(trace = FALSE)) : Failure in initial functional evaluation Does anybody has any idea what is wrong? Any suggetsion is very much appreciated. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
