bsearch: Bisection search

In MGallow/statr: Matt Galloway Personal R Package

Description

Minimizes a univariate strictly pseudoconvex function over the interval [a, b]. This is augmented code from Adam Rothman's STAT 8054 course (2017).

Usage

bsearch(dg, a, b, L = 1e-07, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

dg	the derivative of the function to minimize, where dg(u, ...) is the function evaluated at u.
a	left endpoint of the initial interval of uncertainty.
b	right endpoint of the initial interval of uncertainty.
L	the maximum length of the final interval of uncertainty.
quiet	should the function stay quiet?
...	additional argument specifications for dg

Value

returns the midpoint of the final interval of uncertainty.
