Hi, I am a bit stuck on specifying ui and ci.
I have read Lange's book ((1999) Numerical Analysis for Statisticians) to his approach and unfortunately his descriptions were not helpful for me. Here is what I have: ui <- rbind(c(0, -1, 0), c(0, 0, -1)) ci <- c(0, -1, -1)) theta <- c(0.5, 0.5, 0.1) My goal is to feed these into constrOptim such that there is no constraint on theta[1] and that theta[2] and theta[3] are both constrained to fall between 0.0 and 1.0. Perhaps my values for ui and ci are incorrect for these constraints. I have already solved the problem in another statistics package so I know the actual solution to the coefficients. But our ultimate goal is to do additional work in R. But so far, I have been unable to recreate our solution in R.
