I don't know what your work flow looks like, but I certainly do not equate "writing R with functions" to "passing parameters at the command line". Rather, these seem quite orthogonal to me. I often have one R file of functions, and another R file where I source the first file and keep a record

Your immediate problem may be solved, but the exact value of that limiting value affects the parameter estimates a fair bit. I have not really looked at your function, but the ledge around it puts a kink (discontinuous first derivative) into it, which can mess up optimizers. Bill Dunlap TIBCO Sof

See e.g. Chapter 10.4 in the "Intro to R Tutorial" on the "..." argument. The general idea is to define your function as: myfun <- function (named_arguments,...) { # Some code ## now call your function as pairwisePlot(some_named_arguments,...) } You would then call myfun with the ...'s replaced

Your nLL function returns 1e+308 in near-boundary cases. Since 1e+308 is so close to machine infinity, it is easy to get into Inf-Inf (=NaN) or Inf/Inf (=NaN) situations when working with it. Try making that limiting value something smaller, like 1e+30, and you may have better luck. Bill Dunlap
