convergence value in optim
Dear all, I have a problem with the value of the function optim optim(startingvalues,fct,NULL,method="BFGS", control=list(maxit=300,trace=TRUE,REPORT=1)) In the helpfile for it is said that $convergence is an integer code and 0 indicates successful convergence 1 indicates that the iteration limit maxit had been reached So while using it, I played with different values for maxit and even if I'm setting maxit=2 ( so the algorithm can't be converged) the value of $convergence is 0. Can anyone give me a hint what's going wrong.. and is there another parameter who is indicating the convergence oof the algorithm? I am confused. Thanks for any help. Brigitta Voss
