Dear R users,

I am trying to find the mle that involves integration. 

I am using the following code and get an error when I use the nlm function

d<-matrix(c(1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,2,2,1,0),nrow=10,ncol=2)
h<-matrix(runif(20,0,1),10)

integ<-matrix(c(0),nrow=10, ncol=2)
ll<-function(p){
for (k in 1:2){
for(s in 1:10){
integrand<-function(x)
x^d[s,k]*exp(-x*gamma(1+1/p))^p*p*x^(p-1)*exp(-x*h[s,k]) 
integ[s,k]<-integrate(integrand,0,Inf)$value
}
}
lik<-colSums(integ)
-lik
}
initial<-c(1)
t<-nlm(ll,initial)
Error in nlm(ll, initial) : invalid function value in 'nlm' optimizer

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. 
Thank you in advance
