Here I shall focus on the optim command‚ which implements the BFGS and L-BFGS-B algorithms‚ among others.1 Optimization through optim is relatively straightforward‚ since it is usually not necessary to provide analytic first and second derivatives. The command is also flexible‚ as likelihood functions can be declared in general terms instead of being defined in terms of a specific data set. 2 Syntactic Structure Estimating likelihood functions entails a two-step process.
