If you use the mle() function in the `stats4' package, you don't have to do anything special. For example, > negloglik <- function(a, b) { a^2 + b^2 } > mle(negloglik, start = list(a = 2), fixed = list(b = 4)) Call: mle(minuslogl = negloglik, start = list(a = 2), fixed = list(b = 4)) Coefficients:

[R] Running the optimization on the subset of parameters

2004-07-14 Thread Victoria Landsman
Dear all, I'd like to find a minimum of (-loglik) function which is a function of k parameters. I'd like to run the minimization algorithm for the different subsets of the parameters and assign the fixed values to the complementary subset. How should I define my (-loglik) function such that it c
