nlmin and nlmax are thin wrappers around nlm, a non-linear minimizer.
nlmax avoids the necessity of modifying the function to construct a minimization problem
from a problem that is naturally a maximization problem.
The summary method for the resulting objects provides output that is easier
for humnans to read.
Usage
nlmax(f, ...)
nlmin(f, ...)
# S3 method for nlmax
summary(object, nsmall = 4, ...)
# S3 method for nlmin
summary(object, nsmall = 4, ...)
Arguments
f
a function to optimize
...
additional arguments passed to nlm. Note that p is a required
argument for nlm. See the help for nlm for details.
