You cannot specify a dfunction for z, but need to compute the values in the matrix yourself as in:

persp(data_for_time, data_for_s,
    outer(data_for_time, data_for_s, plot_R_i_3d))

Hello Dear,

I have a function, like z=f(x,y), and try a surface plot with this function.
But, on the reference of "wireframe" requires data option, so I generated x
and y, and computed z with them. But, still I have a problem to draw a
surface plot. The code  and errors are

##################################################
mle_beta0=64.43707;
mle_beta1=-24365.16;

# generating for the requirement of "wireframe"
data_for_c = runif(1000,30,85);                     # range is (30,50)
data_for_s = sort(1/(273+data_for_c));
data_for_time = sort(runif(1000,0,100000))     # range is (0,100000)
data_for_R = exp((-exp(mle_beta0+mle_beta1*data_for_s))*data_for_time)
data_all = cbind(data_for_s,data_for_time,data_for_R)

# function: plot_R_i_3d = f(data_for_time,data_for_s)
        plot_R_i_3d = function(data_for_time,data_for_s)
        {
                
                R_i = exp((-exp(mle_beta0+mle_beta1*data_for_s))*data_for_time);
                return(R_i)
        }

# tried 1) persp or 2) wireframe

persp(data_for_time,data_for_s,plot_R_i_3d)

==>  Error in min(x, na.rm = na.rm) : invalid 'type' (list) of argument

wireframe(formula=data_for_R ~ data_for_s*data_for_time,data=data_all)

==>  Error in nrow(x) :
        element 1 is empty;
        the part of the args list of 'dim' being evaluated was:
        (x)

I have two questions:

1) which one is better to plot in this case - "persp" and "wireframe", Is
there another suggestion?
2) Is it possible to plot with only a function?
3) If not, what is wrong in the code above?

Many thank you in advance,

Jin
