Dear All, Hello! I have some questoins in R programming as follows:
Question 1- How to take the integral of this function with respect to y, such that x would appear in the output after taking integral. f(x,y)=(0.1766*exp(-exp(y+lnx))*-exp(y+lnx))/(1-exp(-exp(y+lnx))) y in (-6.907,-1.246) It is doable in maple but not in R. At least I could not find the way. p.s: result from maple is: g(x)=dilog*exp(0.001000755564*x)+0.5*ln(exp(0.001000755564*x))^2-dilog*(exp(0.2876531111*x))-0.5*ln(exp(0.2876531111*x))^2 Where dilog=integral(log(t)/(1-t)) for t in (1,x) Question 2- Then I want to optimize (maximize) the answer of the above integral for x. Assum x in (0,100) The answer should be something between 26 and 27. What I did is: got answer of integral(f(x,y)) from maple which is g(x), and then applied it in R. The code is as follows: ##In the case n=1 library(stats) require(graphics) integrand=function(t){(log(t))/(1-t)} #dilog=integrate(integrand, lower=1, upper=x) fr <- function(x){(integrate(integrand, lower=1, upper=x)$value)*(exp(0.001000755564*x))+0.5*log(exp(0.001000755564*x))^2-(integrate(integrand, lower=1, upper=x)$value)*(exp(0.2876531111*x))-0.5*log(exp(0.2876531111*x))^2} optim(20, fr, NULL, method = "BFGS") Question 2-1-Default by optim is to minimize a function, how I can use it to maximization? Question 2-2- The above code faced with errors, and did not work. What I guess is there is something wrong with taking integral. The output of integrate function in R is some sort of thing. I had to somehow tell it, just take the value and forget about the others. But I guess it is still something wrong with it. I also tried maxNR, but is didn't work either. Question 2-3- Thoes above are the easiest case of my problem. Assume the case that I have summation of f(x1,y)+f(x2,y)+...+f(x12,y) The article have done it by E04JAF-NAG Fortran Library Routine Document. But I want to do it in R. Thanx all.
