Dear R experts I'm trying to use R to solve for the root of one nonlinear function I tried to use the package "rootSolve" but it didn't give any value the value is (numeric(0)) although I tried on changing the interval of root.
I tried also the package "nleqslv" but itdidn't iterate what ever the guess I'm giving to the root. please tell me what to do? should i have to use another package or search in another program rather than R (like matehmatica or matlab for example) Here's the r code I've used >>>>>>>>>>>>> alpha <- 40 beta <- 10 n <- 20 to1 <- c(0.26308002, 0.09350968, 0.17371400, 0.10310227,0.15631892,0.21255328,0.12333682,0.076527274) to2 <-(0.31238764,0.03546888,0.41671089,0.15223569,0.68194715,0.01491989,0.37137511,0.19945158,0.23525854,0.29444296) tc <- c(0,0,0.06469491,0.20090405) to1 <- matrix(to1) to2 <- matrix(to2); tc <- matrix(tc) r1 <- nrow(to1) r2 <- nrow(to2) I <- ifelse((tc>0), 1, 0) fn <- function(a) sum(sapply(2:4, function(j1) { sum(sapply(2:(j1-1), function(j2){ factorial(n-r2-I[j1]-I[j2])*factorial(r2+I[j1]+I[j2])*(j1>j2)/(((beta+sum(to1)+sum(tc)-tc[j1]-tc[j2])^(r1+alpha))*((beta+sum(to2)+tc[j1]+tc[j2])^(r2+alpha)))}))}))-sum(sapply(2:4, function(j1) {sum(sapply(2:(j1-1), function(j2){factorial(n+1-r2-I[j1]-I[j2])*factorial(r2+I[j1]+I[j2])*(j1>j2)/((n+2)*((a+beta+sum(to1)+sum(tc)-tc[j1]-tc[j2])^(r1+alpha))*((beta+sum(to2)+tc[j1]+tc[j2])^(r2+alpha)))}))}))-sum(sapply(2:4, function(j1) {sum(sapply(2:(j1-1), function(j2){factorial(n-r2-I[j1]-I[j2])*factorial(1+r2+I[j1]+I[j2])*(j1>j2)/((n+2)*((beta+sum(to1)+sum(tc)-tc[j1]-tc[j2])^(r1+alpha))*((a+beta+sum(to2)+tc[j1]+tc[j2])^(r2+alpha)))}))})) library(rootSolve) a=uniroot.all(fn,c(0,3)) ##"a" is : numeric(0) library(nleqslv) nleqslv(5, fn) >>>>>>>>>> what ever the value i put for the guess appears as the solution of the root and the message is "Function criterion near zero" Thank you ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
