I'm not sure what you meant by "a topic on newton's method" (algorithm? demo?), but the demonstration in the package 'animation' might help:
install.packages('animation') par(pch = 20) ani.options(nmax = 50) newton.method(function(x) 5 * x^3 - 7 * x^2 - 40 * x + 100, 7.15, c(-6.2, 7.1)) Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyi...@gmail.com> Phone: +86-(0)10-82509086 Fax: +86-(0)10-82509086 Mobile: +86-15810805877 Homepage: http://www.yihui.name School of Statistics, Room 1037, Mingde Main Building, Renmin University of China, Beijing, 100872, China On Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 11:15 AM, Roslina Zakaria <zrosl...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hi R-users, > > Does R has a topic on newton's method? > > Thank you for the info. > ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
