Poor performance of "Optim"

Fri, Sep 30, 2011 11:12 PM
I used to consider using R and "Optim" to replace my commercial packages:
Gauss and Matlab.  But it turns out that "Optim" does not converge
completely.  The same data for Gauss and Matlab are converged very well.  I
see that there are too many packages based on "optim" and really doubt if
they can be trusted!
