Hi all,
I wrote the following code for the problem I posted before. Can some one
recommend a better way to do this?
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))))}
lam <- seq(0.01,0.9, by=0.001)
x1 <- numeric(length(lam))
x2 <- numeric(length(lam))
for (i in 1:length(lam)){
cl <- uniroot(f1, lower =-10, upper = 0,
tol = 1e-10,p1=0.15,lambda=lam[i])$root
cu <- uniroot(f1, lower =0, upper = 10,
tol = 1e-10,p1=0.15,lambda=lam[i])$root
x1[i]<- f2(p1=0.15, cl=cl, cu=cu)
}
x1<=0.05
x1[259]
## x1[259] is the lambda value for f2()=0.05.
Thank you very much!!
