Hello,

I have simulated a set of data which i called "nir" (a vector).

I have created a function "logl" which calculates the log-likelihood.

logl is a function of 2 real parameters : "beta" and "zeta" (of length 1).

This function works perfectly well when I try for example "logl(0.1,0.2)"

Now if I try :

"x=seq(0.1,0.5,by=10^(-1))
y=seq(0.1,0.5,by=10^(-1))
z=outer(x,y,logl)"

I get an error.

The problem seems to be that inside "logl", the following expression is
calculated : "sum( log( beta+(nir-1)*zeta )  )". So it is a vector
manipulation. The error tells me that "nir" is not the size of "zeta". Yet
usually it is no problem since "length(zeta)=1".

When I replace "sum( log( beta+(nir-1)*zeta ) )" by a loop, I get no
mistake. But I think it slows down the program.

Do you have an idea where the problem is ?

Thank you very much.
