I have to estimate the following model for several group of observations : y(1-y) = p[1]*(x^2-y) + p[2]*y*(x-1) + p[3]*(x-y)
with constraints : p[1]+p[3] >= 1 p[1]+p[2]+p[3]+1 >= 0 p[3] >= 0 I use the following code : func <- sum((y(1-y) - p[1]*(x^2-y) + p[2]*y*(x-1) + p[3]*(x-y))^2) estim <- optim( c(1,0,0),func, method="L-BFGS-B" , lower=c(1-p[3], -p[1]-p[3]-1, 0) ) and for some group of observations, I observe that the estimated parameters don't respect the constraints, espacially the first. Where's the problem please ? ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
