Dear R Fans,
I have a simple probem but cannot find any reference to the soultion.
I want to do calculations with small numbers (for max likelihood estimations). The lowest value R is storing by default is 1*10^-323, a smaller numer like 1*10^-324 is stored as a 0. How can I circumvent this problem? Is there a way to define how small a number can be in R.
Thanks for a reply in advance,
Marc
