[R] Source code for nlm()
Hi, Where can I find the source code for nlm()? I dowloaded the R2.8.1.tar.gz file and looked at all the .c and .f files, but couldn't find either nlm.c or nlm.f There is an nlm.r file, but that is not useful.

Re: [R] Source code for nlm()
It seems to be in optimize.c Rgonzui has a very nice search facility for source of R or CRAN packages (however it is against R 2.8.0 source): http://rgonzui.nakama.ne.jp/R/markup/R-2.8.0/src/main/optimize.c?fm=cq=nlm# l378 -Christos -Original Message- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Ravi Varadhan Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 1:00 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Source code for nlm() Hi, Where can I find the source code for nlm()?

I don't see why you say it's not useful, because it's the starting point to find the code. See Ligges, U. (2006): R Help Desk: Accessing the Sources. R News 6 (4), 43-45. http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/ for the next steps. (To save you some time: look in src/main/optimize.c. But Uwe's article would have got you there pretty quickly).

Re: [R] Source code for nlm()
Thank you, Chris and Duncan. It never occurred to me to look in optimize.c since optimize() does univariate minimization. Furthermore, now I know that the underlying Fortran code (OPTIF9) is from the UNCMIN library (may be this should be mentioned in the help page, although once can get to this information from the second reference).
