Hello,
I have some parameters from Mclust function. The parameters are in the form *parametersDf * * mu_1 mu_2 var_mc1 var_mc2 c1 c2 * *2 1.357283 2.962736 0.466154 0.1320129 0.5258975 0.4741025 * *21 8.357283 9.962736 0.466154 0.1320129 0.5258975 0.4741025 * Each row in the above data frame represent the segment and each segment contain two-mixture component. (Latter I will increase the segment and the mixture component) So for every segment with n mixture component I have to find the *max f(x) with –infinity < x < infinity* *f(x)=sum_i c_i N(O,mu_i,sigma_i). * *Since i need to calculate the derivate f’ and set f’(x)=0 I thought of using Newton method * *In R the function I selected for my problem is optim.* *Below is my code * *l = 2 # represent the number of mixture component* *i=1# represent the segment 1 if i=2 represent the 2 segment* *parametersDf #which I have posted above* *xnorm= function(x)* *{ * * #observation= append(segment1, segment2)* * mu.vector = parametersDf[1:l] * * var.vector =parametersDf[(l+1):((2*l))]* * coeff.vector=parametersDf[(2*l+1):(3*l)]* * val_df=data.frame()* * sum_prob=0* * for (j in 1:l){* * val=(coeff.vector[i,j]*(dnorm(x,mu.vector[i,j],sqrt(var.vector[i,j]))))* * sum_prob=sum_prob+val* * } * * return(sum_prob)* *}* *#segment1* *val1=optim(parametersDf$mean_mc_1[1],** fn=xnorm,* * method = "BFGS")* *I am not getting right result from optim function. Is there something I can do?* *Thanks in Advance for the help * [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
