Hi all, I have the following two function f1 and f2. f1 <- function(lambda,z,p1){ lambda*(p1*exp(-3*z-9/2)+(0.2-p1)*exp(4*z-8))-(1-lambda)*0.8}
f2 <- function(p1,cl, cu){ 0.8*(pnorm(cl)+(1-pnorm(cu)))/(0.8*(pnorm(cl)+(1-pnorm(cu)))+p1*(pnorm(cl+3)+(1-pnorm(cu+3)))+(0.2-p1)*(pnorm(cl-4)+(1-pnorm(cu-4))))}-0.05 First fix p1 to be 0.15. (i) choose a lambda value, say lamda=0.6, (ii) there should be two solutions for the equation f1(z, p1=0.15, lambda=1)=0, say cl and cu, (iii) evaluate f2 at cl and cu found in (ii) and p1=0.15, How do we find the lambda value such that f2=0? Thank you very much!
