[R] optim() argument scoping: passing parameter values into user's subfunction

2009-09-08 Thread Szumiloski, John
Dear useRs, I have a complicated function to be optimized with optim(), and whose parameters are passed to another function within its evaluation. This function allows for the parameters to enter as arguments to various probability distribution functions. However, I am violating some scoping con
