18-Optimizing your R Programming with Scoping Rules: A Practical Example

When it comes to optimization in R Programming, lexical scoping can be a useful tool for optimizing complex functions that involve multiple variables. In this video, we explored how lexical scoping can be used to optimize a function using the NLL (negative log-likelihood) function, and how the optim, optimize, and nlm functions in R can be used to perform optimization in R Programming, with the help of a practical example.
