I'm pulling my hair (and there's not much left!) on this one. Basically I'm
not getting the same result t when I "step" through the program and evaluate
each element separately than when I use the outer() function in the
FindLikelihood() function below.

 

Here's the functions:

 

Dk<- function(xk,A,B) 

{

n0 *(A*exp(-0.5*(xk/w)^2) + B)

}

 

FindLikelihood <- function(Nk)

{

A <- seq(0.2,3,by=0.2)

B <- seq(0.2,3,by=0.2)

k <-7

L <- outer(A, B, function(A,B) sum( (Nk*log(Dk(seq(-k,k),A,B))) -
Dk(seq(-k,k),A,B) ))

return(L)

}

 

 

where Nk <- c(70 , 67 , 75 , 77 , 74 ,102,  75, 104 , 94 , 74 , 78 , 79 , 83
, 73 , 76)

 

 

Here's an excerpt from my debug session..

As "commented" above, when I evaluate a single A,B element (i.e. A=0.2,
B=0.2) I get a different result than when I use OUTER() which should also be
evaluating at A=0.2, B=0.2??

 

Any help appreciated.  I know I'm probably doing something overlooking
something simple, but can anyone point it out???

 

Thanks!
