[R] any more direct-search optimization method in R

2006-02-28 Thread Weijie Cai
Hello list, I am dealing with a noisy function (gradient,hessian not available) with simple boundary constraints (x_i0). I've tried constrOptim() using nelder mead to minimize it but it is way too slow and the returned results are not satisfying. simulated annealing is so hard to tune and it

If you have only boundary constraints on parameters you can use method L-BFGS in optim. Hth, ingmar From: Weijie Cai [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 11:48:32 -0500 To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] any more direct-search optimization method in R Hello list, I am
