In optim, non-zero values of trace in the control list are treated as postitive, even if they are negative. >From documentation: trace Integer. If positive, tracing information on the progress of the optimization is produced. Higher values may produce more tracing information: for method "L-BFGS-B" there are six levels of tracing. (To understand exactly what these do see the source code: higher levels give more detail.) example: obj <- function(par){sum(par)} par <- c(1,1,1) optim(par,obj,control=list(trace=-1)) ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
