[R] Extend my code to run several data at once.

[EdBo]

Hi

I have a code that calculate maximisation using optimx and it is working
just fine. I want to extend the code to run several colomns of R_j where j
runs from 1 to 200. If I am to run the code in its current state, it means I
will have to run it 200 times manually. May you help me adjust it to
accomodate several rows of R_j and print the 200 results.

***Please do not get intimidated by the maths in the code.***

my code
######
afull=read.table("D:/hope.txt",header=T)
library(optimx) 
llik = function(x) 
   { 
    al_j=x[1]; au_j=x[2]; sigma_j=x[3];  b_j=x[4]
    sum(na.rm=T,
        ifelse(a$R_j< 0, log(1 / ( sqrt(2*pi) * sigma_j) )-
                           (1/( 2*sigma_j^2 ) ) * ( 
(a$R_j+al_j-b_j*a$R_m)^2 ) , 

         ifelse(a$R_j>0 , log(1 / ( sqrt(2*pi) * sigma_j) )-
                           (1/( 2*sigma_j^2 ) ) * ( 
(a$R_j+al_j-b_j*a$R_m)^2 ) ,

				log(ifelse (( pnorm (au_j, mean=b_j * a$R_m, sd= sqrt(sigma_j^2))-
                           pnorm(al_j, mean=b_j * a$R_m, sd=sqrt
(sigma_j^2)) ) > 0,

					(pnorm (au_j,mean=b_j * a$R_m, sd= sqrt(sigma_j^2))-
                           pnorm(al_j, mean=b_j * a$R_m, sd= sqrt(sigma_j^2)
)),
					1) ) ) )
      )
   } 
start.par = c(-0.01,0.01,0.1,1) 

#looping now
runs=133/20+1


out <- matrix(NA, nrow = runs, ncol = 4,

dimnames = list(paste("Qtr:", 1:runs , sep = ''),

c("al_j", "au_j", "sigma_j", "b_j"))) 

  
## Estimate parameters based on rows 0-20, 21-40, 41-60 of afull
for (i in 1:runs) {
		index_start=20*(i-1)+1
		index_end= 20*i
 		a=afull[index_start:index_end,]
		out[i, ] <- optimx(llik,par = start.par,method = "Nelder-Mead",
control=list(maximize=TRUE) )[[1]][[1]]
		} 

## Yields
