I fit my CDF to sum of exponentials and now I want to take the numerical derivative of this function to obtain probability density.I will really appreciate your help reagrding the error messages I am getting which I don't understand. * * > fitterma <- function(xtime) { a <- -0.09144115 b <- -0.01335756 c <- -2.368057 d <- -0.00600052 return(exp(a+b*xtime)+exp(c+d*xtime)) } > numericDeriv(fitterma,"xtime") *Error in numericDeriv(fitterma, "xtime") : * * cannot coerce type 'closure' to vector of type 'double'* * * *Thanks,* *parmee* [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
