If OK, can anyone point to documentation and examples?
Can you give more context? What is UNCMINF? Is it a package? Is it a file? There is a file R_SRC/src/appl/uncmin.c but it doesn't use DBLEPR because it is C source code. As stated in the comments /* ../appl/uncmin.f -- translated by f2c (version of 1 June 1993 23:00:00). -- and hand edited by Saikat DebRoy */ /*--- The Dennis + Schnabel Minimizer -- used by R's nlm() ---*/ ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
