Hello Everyone, I want to perform a 1-D optimization by using the optimize() function. I want to find the maximum value of a "logistic" function. The optimize() function gives the wrong result.
My code: f= function (k) { T_s = 20 result = (2- 2/(1+ exp(-2*T_s*k))) return(result) } optimize(f, c(0, 5), tol = 0.0000000000001, maximum= TRUE) The maximum value for the function happens at k=0, and the maximum value is 1. Yet the optimise function, says that the maximum value happens at k= 4.9995, and the maximum value is 0. Thanks in advance!
