Hello!
I am getting the following errors when running optim() [I tried optim() with
3 different methods as you can see]:
Error in optim(c(0.66, 0.999, 0.064), pe, NULL, method = "L-BFGS-B") :
objective function in optim evaluates to length 6 not 1
> out <- optim( c(0.66, 0.999, 0.064), pe, NULL, method = "Nelder-Mead")
Error in optim(c(0.66, 0.999, 0.064), pe, NULL, method = "Nelder-Mead") :
objective function in optim evaluates to length 6 not 1
> out <- optim( c(0.66, 0.999, 0.064), pe, NULL, method = "CG")
Error in optim(c(0.66, 0.999, 0.064), pe, NULL, method = "CG") :
objective function in optim evaluates to length 6 not 1
I don't know what the error message should mean to me.
Particulars for the problem are listed below.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
