| uniroot {base} | R Documentation |
The function optimize searches the interval from lower
to upper for a zero of the function f with respect to
its first argument.
The function uses Fortran code (from Netlib) based on algorithms given in the reference below.
uniroot(f, interval, lower = min(interval), upper = max(interval),
tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25, ...)
f |
the function for which the root is sought. |
interval |
a vector containing the end-points of the interval to be searched for the root. |
lower |
the lower end point of the interval to be searched. |
upper |
the upper end point of the interval to be searched. |
tol |
the desired accuracy. |
... |
additional arguments to |
A list with components root and f.root which give the
location of the root and the value of the function evaluated at that
point.
