Subject: Non-linear minimization
hello, I have got some trouble with R functions nlm(),
nls() or optim() : I would like to fit 3 parameters
which must stay in a precise interval. For exemple
with nlm() :
fn<-function(p) sum((dN-estdata(p[1],p[2],p[3]))^2)
out<-nlm(fn, p=c(4, 17, 5),
hessian=TRUE,print.level=2)
with estdata() a function which returns value to fit
with dN (observed data vactor)
My problem is that only optim() allows me to set
parameters interval with "L-BFGS-B" method but this
one doesn't work in my case.
I have heard about nls2 package (www.inra.fr/bia) but
it doesn't work on Windows.
Do you know any solutions
Thank's a lot for reading my post
Best regards
Sebastien
