algorithms are generally very precise. R is well-suited for programming your own maximum likelihood routines. Indeed‚ there are several procedures for optimizing likelihood functions. 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

with or without bound constraints on the unknowns. The quasi-Newton method optim/"qn" uses a Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno formula to update the approximate Hessian matrix. The quasi-Newton method has a O(n²) memory requirement. The limited memory BFGS algorithm optim/"gc" is efficient for large size problems due to its memory requirement in O(n). Finally‚ the optim/"nd" algorithm is a bundle method which may be used to solve unconstrained‚ non-differentiable problems. For all these solvers‚ a function

Experiment 4: Conductivity of electrolyte solutions (Dated: October 29‚ 2009) I. INTRODUCTION Pure water does not conduct electricity‚ but any solvated ionic species would contribute to conduction of electricity. An ionically conducting solution is called an electrolyte solution and the compound‚ which produces the ions as it dissolves‚ is called an electrolyte. A strong electrolyte is a compound that will completely dissociate into ions in water. Correspondingly‚ a weak electrolyte dissolves

A visit to the dentist It was a cloudy and cold morning when I woke up to take Roald to the dentist. I woke him about half hour after I woke up. I cooked his favourite bacon and eggs for breakfast. We had a 10:30 appointment with the dentist and it was nearly all ready ten o’clock and I thought we’d better get going. The next minute Roald was ready to go so off we went. It took us a good half hour to get all the way up the hill and to the dentists and by the time we got there
