Re: [R] Query on finding root

Dear R-Users, Just out of curiosity: Which of the 2 methods is the better one? The results seem to differ slightly. fun = function(u){((26104.50*u^0.03399381)/((1-u)^0.107)) - 28353.7} uniroot(fun, c(0,1)) # 0.6048184 curve(fun(x), 0, 1) abline(v=0.3952365, col="red") abline(v=0.6048184,

Re: [R] Query on finding root

This doesn't look like homework to me -- too specific. The posting guide says that the list is not intended for "Basic statistics and classroom homework" -- again, this doesn't seem to fall into that category. tl;dr, I think the difference b

[R] Query on finding root

Sir, I want to solve the equation Q(u)=mean, where Q(u) represents the quantile function. Here my Q(u)=(c*u^lamda1)/((1-u)^lamda2), which is the quantile function of Davies (Power-pareto) distribution. Hence I want to solve , *(c*u^lamda1)/((1-u)^lamda2)=28353.7(Eq.1)* where lamda1=0.03399381,
