[R-SIG-Finance] Zeros of a hairy function

[ARDIA David]

If your function is f(x), then you could apply optim to g(x) := f(x)^2. 

You can also consider the DEoptim package to perform robust optimization
based on a genetic algorithm.

Hope it helps,

David

Hi all,

In order to get an estimator for the correlation between two asstes I
need the zeros of a quite "hairy" nonlinear function. Could you give me
a tip which function in R could supply a solution? I thought of  'optim'
but it will only minimize the function but not get its zeros.

Thanks a lot!

Valentin
