Hi all, I need to minimize following function : dat <- matrix(rnorm(20000), ncol=2) targetFn <- function(x) { dat <- as.matrix(dat) dat1 <- 1*dat[,1] - (x^2)*dat[,2] return(sd(dat1)) }
i.e. I want ro find for which "x" the value of "targetFn" will be minimum, depending on current dataset "dat". Is there any optimization routine available for this type of optimization?
