I am trying to run this code and obtain the MLEs for my parameters. However I am getting this error at the end.
Error in optim(c(1.4, 1.1, 0.8, 0.92, 0.4), poisson.lik, v = v) : objective function in *optim evaluates to length 100 not 1* Code: poisson.lik <- function(theta,v){ v=matrix(c(1,3,2,0),nrow=2) n<-nrow(v) alpha1 <- theta[1] alpha2 <- theta[2] beta1 <- theta[3] beta2 <- theta[4] gamma <- theta[5] log.lik <- v[1]*log(alpha1*beta2*gamma)-alpha1*beta2*gamma-log(factorial(v[1]))+y*log(alpha2*beta1)-alpha2*beta1-log(factorial(v[2])) return(-log.lik) } optim(c(1.4,1.1,0.8,0.92,0.4),poisson.lik,v=v) Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong please?
