process_optim: Extract 'optim' results to a row

In BioGeoBEARS: BioGeography with Bayesian (and Likelihood) Evolutionary Analysis in R Scripts

Description

After running an ML (maximum likelihood) search with optim, optim returns a list with a variety of objects. It is often handy to have the parameter values, log-likelihood, etc., extracted to a table for comparison with other optimization runs. process_optim does this.

Usage

  process_optim(optim_results, max_num_params = NULL)

Arguments

optim_results	A results object from optim
max_num_params	Specify the number of parameters, if known. If NULL, the code will try to guess.

Value

tmprow3 A row holding the optim results, which can then be added to a table with rbind.

Note

Go BEARS!
