function - Solving for two parameters using `optim()` in R? -


i'm trying find shape1 , shape2 in dbeta() such answer dbeta() 2 input values: .6 , .8 become 3.

i'm using below optim() don't exact result, expect getting values shape1 , shape2 when used .6 , .8 give 3 , 3, don't, why? 

f <- function(x) {  y <- c(3, 3) - dbeta(c(.6, .8), shape1 = x[1],  shape2 = x[2])   }  aa = optim(c(1, 1), function(x) sum(f(x)^2), control = list(reltol = (.machine$double.eps)))   parms = unname(aa$par)  dbeta(c(.6, .8), parms[1], parms[2]) # here expect `3` `.6` , `.8` don't.

i had brief @ this. don't think there's problem fit: here's picture of likelihood surface:

library(emdbook) cc <- curve3d(g(c(x,y)),xlim=c(1,20),ylim=c(1,20),               sys3d="none") pp <- which(cc$z==min(cc$z),arr.ind=true) png("betasurf.png") with(cc,image(x,y,z)) points(parms[1],parms[2],pch=16) points(cc$x[pp[1]],cc$y[pp[2]],pch=1) dev.off()

enter image description here

filled circle fitted value, open circle minimum of grid; think difference numerical fuzz (i zoomed in few times make sure). in case, there's no evidence of weird multiple optima.

i believe issue you've set set of pair of points can't simultaneously matched any beta distribution; optim() giving best possible fit ...

png("betatmp.png") curve(dbeta(x,parms[1],parms[2]),from=0,to=1) points(c(0.6,0.8),c(3,3),pch=16) dev.off()

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
