Dear List, I'm trying to solve this simple optimization problem in R. The parameters are the exponents to the matrix mm. The constraints specify that each row of the parameter matrix should sum to 1 and their product to 0. I don't understand why the constraints are not satisfied at the solution.

2013-02-10 Thread Ravi Varadhan
Your constraints are non-sensical. The only way for these constraints to be satisfied is for two of the parameters to be 0 and the other two to be 1. Please spend time to formulate your problem correctly, before imposing on others' time. Ravi From: Axel

Axel, Your objective function has the wrong sign. The maximum is infinity, so it does not make sense to maximize. YOu should be minimizing the product. So, remove the negative sign and it works as you had expected. ff - function (x) { mm - matrix(c(10, 25, 5, 10), 2, 2) matx -
