[R] optimx
Hello All,
I need some help with optimx, mostly due to my apparent lack of imagination
than optimx itself. Below is the pertinent code for which I have a question.
I am fitting to the term structure of swap rates per Cox, Ingersoll, and Ross.
As you can see the objective function is CIRTune. I have set up the lower and
upper bounds of the model for each kappa, lambda, and theta. Everything works
as expected.
However, there is an additional constraint.
2 * kappa * lamba = sigma^2
My question is as follows: should the constraint be worked into the function
or should I add an additional parameter in the function that is controlled by
lower and upper?
#Objective function
CIRTune - function(param = numeric(), shortrate = numeric(), sigma = .015,
cfmatrix = matrix(), matmatrix = matrix()){
kappa = param[1]
lambda = param[2]
theta = param[3]
Disc - CIRBondPrice(kappa = kappa, lambda = lambda, theta = theta,
shortrate = shortrate, T= matmatrix, step = 0, sigma = sigma)
CIRTune - sqrt((sum(colSums((cfmatrix * Disc))^2))/ncol(matmatrix))
return(CIRTune)
}
# Fit the model to the market
fit - optimx(par = c(.1, .003, .03),
fn = CIRTune,
method = L-BFGS-B,
lower = c(rep(.001,3),
upper = rep(1, 3),
shortrate = shortrate,
sigma = .015,
cfmatrix = CIR.CF.Matrix,
matmatrix = CIR.Mat.Matrix)
close(CalCIR1)
return(fit)
Thank-you in advance,
Glenn

Re: [R] Using Rmpfr to round with precision in R
Thanks Martin, looks like the update fixed the issue.
The round2 function is just to format the output.
now I can get the correct result:
library(Rmpfr)
sprintf(%#.2f, round(mpfr(1.152, 200),2))
round2(1.152, 2)
#[1] 1.15

I'm trying to use the Rmpfr library with the round() function to apply
the round half to even rule and achieve correct results, without
errors due the finite precision of float point values.
Example of problem:
round(1.225,2)
#[1] 1.23
So far, this is what I've achieved:
library(Rmpfr)
x - c(1.225, 1.2225, 1.5, 1.25)
n - c(2, 3, 4, 5)
round2 - function(x, n){
sprintf(paste(%#., n, f, sep=), round(mpfr(as.character(x), 200),
n))
}
mapply(round2, x, n)
#[1] 1.221.222 1. 1.2
The above round2() function is really pretty strange [what do you really
want?]
but below, you have a very good point :
But in some cases I don't get the desired results:
round2(1.152, 2)# Should be 1.15
#[1] 1.16
Reading the Rmpfr docs, at the roundMpfr() function, it says:
Actually, roundMpfr() is *not* used by round(mpfr, *)
It has somewhat different semantics. That's why I used a new
function name, roundMpfr(), whereas the round() method for
mpfr objects is what you get from
selectMethod(round, mpfr)
The mpfr class group method Math2 implements a method for round(x,
digits) which rounds to decimal digits.
Indeed... and that is different from the roundMpfr() as
mentioned above.
But I can't figure how to use it.
How can I achieve desired rounded results?
Artur
Wait a day or two [depending on how quickly the new Rmpfr version 0.5-7
gets published on CRAN], and update your Rmpfr package.
The problem is fixed in Rmpfr 0.5-7.
If you had CC'ed your e-mail to
maintainer(Rmpfr)
I would have heard of the problem earlier and almost surely
have fixed it earlier.
Best regards,
Martin Maechler (maintainer of 'Rmpfr').

My question is as follows: should the constraint be worked into the

This is a general question about constrained optimization, not
just about optimx (e.g. it would apply to the L-BFGS-B method for
base::optim() as well). In general the best way to handle this
(I think) would be reparameterize your model slightly, substituting
gamma = 2*kappa*lambda-sigma^2 for either lambda or kappa. Then
you know that gamma must be =0, and you can compute the appropriate
value of (e.g.) lambda = (gamma+sigma^2)/(2*kappa) on the fly from
the specified values of kappa and gamma. This will automatically
satisfy the lambda0 constraint (if gamma, sigma, kappa are all 0),
but you need to check what's necessary to satisfy the other
(lambda1) constraint; I haven't worked all the way through that
(left as an exercise), but if it can't definitely be satisfied
by an independent constraint on gamma then you're in trouble
(you have to work out what values of kappa, sigma, and gamma
could lead to lambda1, then see if it's possible to prevent them
by assigning independent constraints).
If you *are* in trouble, then you need to find an optimizer
that can handle nonlinear inequality constraints. I think the nloptr
package might have one, or you can do this by hand (1) exactly by
Lagrange multipliers or (2) approximately by imposing a nonlinear penalty
when the constraint is violated.

Re: [R] package submission
I was similarly bitten a couple of days ago when I submitted an update of my deldir package. I'm*pretty* sure that I completed all the requisite steps in the steps in the web-based submission procedure, but I never received the promised confirmation email. Being a thicko, I overlooked this fact, and started to wonder why the update never appeared on CRAN. Eventually I got my act together, went over the instructions and re-submitted the package. This time I got the confirmation email, and the update duly appeared on CRAN. Maybe there's a buglet in the software that effects the automated submission procedure. I was similarly bitten but, paying closer attention on the second attempt, I suspect I thought I was finished at successfully uploaded and I did not go all the way to the very bottom to see that I then had to click on submit to get the successfully submitted page. (Text of the messages from memory, so may not be exact.) Once successfully submitted, the email asking for confirmation is almost instantaneous. For users like me that push the boundaries of discovering possible user errors, it would be helpful if the first message said successfully uploaded - now read this page and submit at the bottom. Paul I would have said it's more likely that I fumble-fingered something in my initial submission attempt. However, hearing that someone else has had a similar experience makes me a wee bit more suspicious that there's a bug. Could be tricky to track down but, given that if there is a bug its effect is intermittent and rare. cheers, Rolf Turner P. S. On my second try, the confirmation email arrived essentially instantaneously. So I would advise package submitters: if you don't get the confirmation email*right away* then something has very likely gone wrong. Check the siteftp://CRAN.R-project.org/incoming/ as advised and if your package ain't there, try again. R. T.

Re: [R] please please unsubscribe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think r-help list software supports unsubscribe headers. When this option is enabled an additional header containing an unsubscribe link is sent with every message do the list. This header is interpreted by some email clients like Hotmail and Gmail, and a small unsubscribe button is placed after the sender's email. Enabling this won't hurt, it won't add more text to emails and maybe can save a few messages like this. #!

[R] trouble installing R from source on Windows 8
Hello everyone! I'm trying to install R-3.1.2 from source on a Windows 8 laptop. I installed Rtools 3.1 as administrator and is was fine so far. Then I downloaded the R-3.1.2.tar.gz file and attempted to use the tar command, also from the shell as administrator. I keep getting the following: tar -xf R-3.1.2.tar.gz tar(child): gzip: Cannot exec: no such file or directory tar(child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors I have downloaded from several different mirrors, (both Rtools and R-3.1.2.tar.gz), and have turned off the firewall (McAfee). Has anyone else run into this, please?

Stop using administrator. If and only if Windows prompts you for permission to install, give it your password. Stay as far away from administrator as you can. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live...

scales=list(x=list(tck=c(-1,0)),y = list(tck=c(-1,0))), ylab= Plant
species, xlim= c(-1.1, 1.1), xlab= Electivity
index,prepanel = NULL, panel= function (x, y) {
panel.abline(v=0) panel.xyplot(x,y, pch = 16, col = black)

Re: [R] please please unsubscribe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any mailing list which respects its recipients makes unsubscribing as easy as possible. If users are having trouble doing so, it's clearly not easy enough. I think putting a directly link in every message is certainly the right thing to do.
