Hi I have re-worked on my likelihood function and it is now working(#the code is below#).
May you help me correct my loop function. I want optim to estimates al_j; au_j; sigma_j; b_j by looking at 0 to 20, 21 to 40, 41 to 60 data points. The final result should have 4 columns of each of the estimates AND 4 rows of each of 0 to 20, 21 to 40, 41 to 60. #likelihood function a=read.table("D:/hope.txt",header=T) attach(a) a llik = function(x) { al_j=x[1]; au_j=x[2]; sigma_j=x[3]; b_j=x[4] sum(na.rm=T, ifelse(a$R_j< 0, log(1/(2*pi*(sigma_j^2)))- (1/(2*(sigma_j^2))*(a$R_j+al_j-b_j*a$R_m))^2, ifelse(a$R_j>0 , log(1/(2*pi*(sigma_j^2)))- (1/(2*(sigma_j^2))*(a$R_j+au_j-b_j*a$R_m))^2, log(ifelse (( pnorm (au_j, mean=b_j * a$R_m, sd= sqrt(sigma_j^2))- pnorm(al_j, mean=b_j * a$R_m, sd=sqrt (sigma_j^2) )) > 0, (pnorm (au_j,mean=b_j * a$R_m, sd= sqrt(sigma_j^2))- pnorm(al_j, mean=b_j * a$R_m, sd= sqrt(sigma_j^2) )), 1)) )) ) } start.par = c(-0.01,0.01,0.1,1) out1 = optim(llik, par=start.par, method="Nelder-Mead") out1 -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/loop-in-optim-tp3643230p3645031.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
