[R] BFGS and Neldear-Mead

[Ravi Varadhan]

Yes, your "optimx" result tells me that Nelder-Mead did not converge.  It was terminated because it exceeded the maximum number of iterations allowed.  In "optimx" you can increase the `itnmax' argument from its default value to accomplish this.

Sorry for posting too much!


i found that in Nelder-Mead the result is "1"
i run this algorith too many times with several data 
maybe the problem is that

i have to give a bigger number of iterations
