This is applicable to either using optim or the differential equation solver or any similar solver
Suppose I want to use the differential equation solver and this is my code d<-y[2] vdpol<-function(t,y) { list(c(1, d, 3, 4 ) } stiff<-ode(y=rep(0,4),times=c(0,1),func=dvdpol,parms=1) The thing is I want d to be composed of one of state variables in the differential function vdopl. Can it be done ? tjun kiat ______________________________________________ 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.
