Dear friends: I am a new R user, and not very good at statistics and maths I find it difficult to find the minimum of this item: ((p*(b-1)-1)*(p+1)^(b-1)+1)/p^2
It seems that the method optim can find the minimum. I tried several times , but R constanly tells that " failure to find b or p" Would you please give some suggestions? Thanks in advance.
