Summarizes the maximization results

Usage

## S3 method for class 'maxim'
summary( object, hessian=FALSE, unsucc.step=FALSE, ... )

Arguments

object

optimization result, object of class maxim. See maxNR.

hessian

logical, whether to display Hessian matrix.

unsucc.step

logical, whether to describe last unsuccesful step if code == 3

...

currently not used.

Value

Object of class summary.maxim, intended to print with corresponding print method. There are following components:

type

type of maximization.

iterations

number of iterations.

code

exit code (see returnCode.)

message

a brief message, explaining the outcome (see returnMessage).

unsucc.step

description of last unsuccessful step, only if requested and code == 3

maximum

function value at maximum

estimate

matrix with following columns:

results

coefficient estimates at maximum

gradient

estimated gradient at maximum

constraints

information about the constrained optimization. NULL if unconstrained maximization.

hessian

estimated hessian at maximum (if requested)

## minimize a 2D quadratic function:
f <- function(b) {
  x <- b[1]; y <- b[2];
  val <- (x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2
  attr(val, "gradient") <- c(2*x - 4, 2*y - 6)
  attr(val, "hessian") <- matrix(c(2, 0, 0, 2), 2, 2)
  val
}
## Note that NR finds the minimum of a quadratic function with a single
## iteration.  Use c(0,0) as initial value.  
result1 <- maxNR( f, start = c(0,0) ) 
summary( result1 )
## Now use c(1000000, -777777) as initial value and ask for hessian
result2 <- maxNR( f, start = c( 1000000, -777777)) 
summary( result2 )
