Re: [Rd] rbind on data.frame that contains a column that is also a data.frame

2010-08-06 Thread Heinz Tuechler
Also Surv objects are matrices and they share the same problem when rbind-ing data.frames. If contained in a data.frame, Surv objects loose their class after rbind and therefore do not more represent Surv objects afterwards. Using rbind with Surv objects outside of data.frames shows a similar pr

OK...I'll put in my 2 cents worth. It seems to me that the problem is with this line: b$a=a , where "s" is something other than a vector with length equal to nrow(b). I had no idea that a dataframe could hold a dataframe. It is not just rbind(b,b) that fails, apply(b,1,sum) fails and so does pl

Christophe, This is a good question. It is conventional that most classical optimization schemes (e.g. gradient-descent, quasi-Newton, and Newton-type) methods do not return the "iteration" counter, but they do return the number of times the gradient is computed. These two are equivalent in the s

[Rd] on the optim function

2010-08-06 Thread Christophe Dutang
Dear useRs, I have just discovered that the R optim function does not return the number of iterations. I still wonder why line 632-634 of optim C, the iter variable is not returned (for the BFGS method for example) ? Is there any trick to compute the iteration number with function call numbe
