[R] Point of intersection

[jim holtman]

Here it is by hand.  You can probably create an iterative solution:

> x=seq(-10,10,length=100)
> p1=dnorm(x,0,1)
> plot(x,p1,type='n',ylab="Density",main="Overlap Measure")
>
>
> points(x,p1,type='l')
> abline(0.07,0.01)
>
> f.x <- function(x) abs(dnorm(x,0,1) - (.07 + .01*x))
>
> optimize(f.x, c(-10,0))
$minimum
[1] -7.000003

$objective
[1] 3.463897e-08

> optimize(f.x, c(-5,0))
$minimum
[1] -2.042199

$objective
[1] 9.272141e-07

> optimize(f.x, c(-2,10))
$minimum
[1] 1.742439

$objective
[1] 3.366173e-07
