Re: [Rd] Improved Nelder-Mead algorithm - a potential replacement for optim's Nelder-Mead

2011-07-19 Thread Kellner
Hi, i have a question concerning the Nelder-Mead algorithm in R. As far as i can see, the shrink operation is not included in the optim() function. Does anyone know an implementation of the Nelder-Mead algorithm including this operation in R? Could maybe someone send me one? I would try to write

Hi, I have written an R translation of C.T. Kelley's Matlab version of the Nelder-Mead algorithm. This algorithm is discussed in detail in his book Iterative methods for optimization (SIAM 1999, Chapter 8). I have tested this relatively extensively on a number of smooth and non-smooth
