Hi to people in the forum, I'm doing some circular statistics in the package circular. My data is in hours and in months, and hours are easily recognised in the functions. However, it is not the case of months having only 12 potential values. I'm thinking in transform the data by dividing the cir

2012-08-18 Thread Karl Ove Hufthammer
You’re right that the step size should be effectively adjusted using alpha, beta and gamma in later iterations, but the problem is that the values used for the first simplex generated depends on the differences between the initial values, which makes no sense, as this make optimisation problem not

Re: [R] Parameter scaling problems with optim and Nelder-Mead method (bug?)

2012-08-18 Thread Bert Gunter
Well, I'm no optimization guru, but a quick reading of Wikipedia said tha step size depends on the initial value configuration and is then "adjusted" by the algorithm using alpha, beta and gamma scaling parameters thru the optimization. So it seems that it is supposed to work exactly as you describ

Dear all, I’m having some problems getting optim with method="Nelder-Mead" to work properly. It seems like there is no way of controlling the step size, and the step size seems to depend on the *difference* between the initial values, which makes no sense. Example: f=function(xy, mu1, mu2) {
