Hi everyone, I have two questions:
I would like to get confidence intervals on the coefficients derived from the optim() function. I apply optim() to a given function f > res <- optim(c(0.08,0.04,1.),f,NULL,method="L-BFGS-B",lower=c(0.,0.,0.)) And I would like to get the p-value and confidence intervals associated with > res$par My second question deals with error message. I am doing a loop with the optim() function in it, when I get an error message like below, the loop is stopped, however I would like to change my initial values to avoid this error message and keep the loop going, so if it crashes when I am away the program can still run, any idea ? Error in optim(c(0.08, 0.04, 1), f, NULL, method = "L-BFGS-B", lower = c(0, : L-BFGS-B needs finite values of 'fn' Thank you for any information on these two problems.
