Dear R users, I am trying to find the mle that involves integration.
I am using the following code and get an error when I use the nlm function d<-matrix(c(1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,2,2,1,0),nrow=10,ncol=2) h<-matrix(runif(20,0,1),10) integ<-matrix(c(0),nrow=10, ncol=2) ll<-function(p){ for (k in 1:2){ for(s in 1:10){ integrand<-function(x) x^d[s,k]*exp(-x*gamma(1+1/p))^p*p*x^(p-1)*exp(-x*h[s,k]) integ[s,k]<-integrate(integrand,0,Inf)$value } } lik<-colSums(integ) -lik } initial<-c(1) t<-nlm(ll,initial) Error in nlm(ll, initial) : invalid function value in 'nlm' optimizer Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
