Dear all,
If you’ve been working on question 5 on Assignment 4, you’ve probably encountered an error message when trying to run optim()
. I looked into it and the error is happening because the dataset contains a row with NA
entries, and optim()
doesn’t like that. Before running optim()
, if you pipe your dataset into remove_missing(na.rm = TRUE)
, for example:
fitting_datasets_fix <- fitting_datasets %>% remove_missing(na.rm = TRUE)
that will remove the offending rows. The dataset in fitting_datasets_fix
should then work properly with optim()
.
Sincerely,
Dr. Glasbrenner
