[R] non-linear estimation with many firm-specific parameters

2010-05-09 Thread ivo welch
Dear R experts--- I doubt that someone has already solved my problem, but I thought I would ask quickly, just in case someone has. Let' say I start with a (flattened panel) model that says y[i] = x[i] + b*(T-x[i]) easy enough---this is just a linear model. I could also make this a

Hi I put a search question about nonlinear programming in R site search and got many answers maybe you could find something which suits your needs. Maybe you could also look at CRAN task view - Optimisation and Mathematical programming Regards Petr r-help-boun...@r-project.org napsal dne

it is an assignment, haha~~ I just simplify the question and i could do that in Excel using solver. I just wonder whether I can find a way to do that in R. The main problem is adding restrictions, I managed to do one question without restrictions in R by nls. James -- View this message in

hey guys, I got a problem when I tried to estimate parameters in a non linear function with restrictions. The function is: Y=a+(b+c*x)*exp(-d*x), given values of x and y. The least squares method is required and there are many restriction on a,b,c,d, such as a10, a+b19,b3, d0 and the starting

any suggestion? actually I just wanna know if there is a package for non linear estimation with restriction, thanks. I am a new for R -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/non-linear-estimation-tp2072136p2074911.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at
