Hi,

thanks for your message.

You mean to rewrite the function like that:

lw <- function(d, x, im)
{
    peri1 <- per(x)
    len <- length(x)
    m <- len/im
    peri <- peri1[2:(m+1)]
    z <- c(1:m)
    freq <- ((2*pi)/len) * z
    result <- log(sum(freq^(2*d-1)*peri))-(2*d)/m * sum(log(freq))
}


and then to use:

target <- function(d)  lw(x, d, im=2)
k <- optimize(target, interval=c(0, 0.5))

or just,

k <- optimize(lw, x, im)

But I still get the same values

$minimum
[1] 0.4999542

$objective
[1] 2.739509

after the optimization, no matter my "x" series. It seems that I am still
doing something wrong in the optimize() or in the result() function inside
the loop. But comparing it to the original S-PLUS code, it seems like it is
fine.

Send me if you have any other ideas please.

Thanks again.
