Hi everyone, I estimate structural equation models and use maximum likelihood estimation. However, the estimates differ depeding on the starting values I choose, so I guess there are multiple local maxima. I'm new to R (and statistics...;), does anybody maybe know how I solve this best? Thanks a loooooooot! ;) Felix -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Likelihood-Multiple-Maxima-tp4645170.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
