[R] gradient option in nlm function

Dear list members, I am trying to use nlm function to maximize a mixture likelihood of beta densities. There are five unknown parameters in the likelihood. Since I can get the analytic gradient, I attach the gradient attribute in my target likehood function. The code is as the following

Oh, that's a typo. I passed the function target. Seems to me R requires some kind of specific syntex. Yuan Ji, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Bistatistics The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 1515 Holcombe Blvd. - Unit 447
