delay_fit {incubate}

Fit optimal parameters according to the objective function (either MPSE or MLE0).

Description

The objective function carries the given data in its environment and it is to be minimized. R's standard routine stats::optim does the numerical optimization, using numerical derivatives. or the analytical solution is returned directly if available.

Usage

delay_fit(objFun, optim_args = NULL, verbose = 0)

Arguments

objFun

objective function to be minimized

optim_args

list of own arguments for optimization. If NULL it uses the default optim arguments associated to the objective function.

verbose

integer that indicates the level of verboseness. Default 0 is quiet.

Value

optimization object including a named parameter vector or NULL in case of errors during optimization
