Over the years, this has been useful to me (not just in R) for many nonlinear optimization tasks. The alternatives often clutter the screen.

Might be a good issue for Rwiki, as I'm sure few of us have all the choices. I can generally live with warning users when the iteration display may display oddly. Perhaps others have more stringent requirements, but if documentation is enough, we can avoid fixing something that is more or less outside R and may be unnecessary work. And documented examples can also show us if things are changing. JN ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
