getMin: Coordinate profile inf function

In profExtrema: Compute and Visualize Profile Extrema Functions

Coordinate profile inf function

Description

Compute coordinate profile inf functions

Usage

getMin(x, f, fprime, coord, d, options = NULL)

Arguments

x	one dimensional point where the function is to be evaluated
f	function to be optimized (takes a vector y of dimension d and returns a real number)
fprime	derivative of f (same format)
coord	integer selecting the dimension that is fixed, the other ones are optimized over
d	dimension of the input for f
options	a list containing the options to be passed to optim: par: contains the starting point (a point in dimension d-1) method: is the string denoting the chosen method for the optimization (see optim for details) lower: the lower bounds for the optimization domain (see optim for details) upper: the upper bounds for the optimization domain (see optim for details)

Value

a real value corresponding to min_{x_1,\dots, x_{coord-1},x_{coord+1}, \dots, x_d} f(x_1,\dots,x_d)
