[R] print and rbind within a for loop

2015-03-25 Thread Steven LeBlanc
Greets, I'm trying to iteratively find solutions to a problem given a range of options. Code is as follows: sim.app.wald<-function(B=0.1,min=10,max=50,alpha=0.05){ result<-c(fails=0,n=0) for(n in min:max){ x<-seq(1,n-1,1) fhat<-x/n

[R] nlminb() - how do I constrain the parameter vector properly?

2013-10-20 Thread Steven LeBlanc
Greets, I'm trying to use nlminb() to estimate the parameters of a bivariate normal sample and during one of the iterations it passes a parameter vector to the likelihood function resulting in an invalid covariance matrix that causes dmvnorm() to throw an error. Thus, it seems I need to somehow

[R] dmvnorm returns NaN

Greets, I'm using nlminb() to estimate the parameters of a multivariate normal random sample with missing values and ran into an unexpected result from my call to dmvnorm() within the likelihood function. Particular details are provided below. It appears that dmvnorm() makes a call to log(eigen
