Hi everybody, I am using the L-BFGS-B method of the mle2() function to estimate the values of 6 parameters. mle2 uses the methods implemented in optim. As I got it from the descriptions available online, one can use the parscale parameter to tell R somehow what the values of the estimated parameters should be . . .
Could somebody please help me understand what one has to do actually with the parscale parameter so that it works right? I am very grateful for an answer - R leaves sometimes some of the parameters unchanged (it is OK since it is a feature of the L-BFGS-B algorithm), but often these are the parameters that should have greater values! Thank you in advance!
