Thank you very much for your reply. I finally managed to get some time to get back to this. I tried to parse and evaluate the expression from R the problem is I cannot do this in multiple lines. Is there anyway to do this?
Because of that I went for the second option but now I get an error. My code is: from rpy2.robjects.packages import importr import rpy2.rinterface as rinterface rinterface.initr() IntSexpVector = rinterface.IntSexpVector log = rinterface.globalenv.get("log") lfactorial = rinterface.globalenv.get("lfactorial") lgamma = rinterface.globalenv.get("lgamma") stats = importr('stats') sum = rinterface.globalenv.get("sum") def rp(rp,k): print rp r = rinterface.FloatSexpVector(rp[0]) p = rinterface.FloatSexpVector(rp[1]) return sum(lgamma(k+r))-sum(lfactorial(k))-len(k)*lgamma(r)+len(k)*r*log(1-p)+sum(k)*log(p) cost_fr = [rinterface.rternalize(rp)] start_params = rinterface.FloatSexpVector([-1.2, 1]) res = stats.optim(start_params, cost_fr) and I get rpy2.rinterface.RRuntimeError: Error in function (par) : could not find function "fn". What am I doing wrong? 2011/6/16 Laurent Gautier <lgaut...@gmail.com>: > On 2011-06-16 17:20, B.
