will help quicken the maximisation. simple way would instead of saving your starting parameters in start.par, add an extra row at the front of "out" to hold them. Then inside your loop, use something like: for(i in 2:5) out[i, ] <- optimx(llik, par = out[i -1, ] so that the pr

I don't know what else to say. Your code looks right to me, and it all runs. I would check the value of a at each loop: for (i in 1:4) { a <- afull[seq(20 * (i - 1) +1, 20 * i), ] print(a) # so you can see what it is out[i, ] <- optim(llik, par = start.par, method = "Nelder-Mead")[[1]] }

I have one last theoretical question, I did not adjust my code prior so that it maximise the likehood function. I googled that to make optim maximise you multiply fn by -1. In my code, would that be the same as saying "-sum" on the "sum" part of my code (see below)? llik = function(x) {

You are right Joshua. I changed the code because I failed to understand how you attached the full data set. How you made the data part of your code. I am new to R so I am used to one way of attaching data(the way I redone it). -Original Message- From: "Joshua Wiley-2 [via R]" Date: Tue

Hi Edward, At least for me, your llik() function returns Inf for the starting values specified, so optim() never gets to estimate anything. You need to alter llik() or find starting parameters that work before worrying about getting the for loop working. Cheers, Josh On Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 2:3
