Dear Sir,

Thanks a lot for your wonderful guidance. It gave me a new vision to look at teh equations. Really appreciate.

Thanks a lot once again.

Katherine

Hi

Reading the error message carefully you can see that f() is not defined at 0:

> uniroot(f, c(0, 1))
Error in uniroot(f, c(0, 1)) : f.lower = f(lower) is NA
> f(0)
[1] NaN

If you plot f() in the interval (0,1) then you'll see there is two solutions:


> uniroot(f, c(0.0001, 1))
Error in uniroot(f, c(1e-04, 1)) : 
  f() values at end points not of opposite sign
> uniroot(f, c(0.0001, 0.2))
$root
[1] 0.1533901

$f.root
[1] 0.3414232

$iter
[1] 6

$estim.prec
[1] 6.103516e-05


> uniroot(f, c(0.3, 1))
$root
[1] 0.4699984

$f.root
[1] -0.04112121

$iter
[1] 8

$estim.prec
[1] 6.103516e-05
