Hi R-users, Recently, I use maxNR function to find maximizer. I have error appears as follows Error in maxNRCompute(fn = fn, grad = grad, hess = hess, start = start, : NA in the initial gradient My code is mu=2 s=1 n=300 library(maxLik) set.seed(1004) x<-rcauchy(n,mu,s) loglik<-function(mu) { log(prod(dcauchy(x,mu,s))) } maxNR(loglik,start=median(x))$estimate Does anyone know how to solve this p...

Hello all, I have a problem estimating Random Effects model using censReg function. small part of code: UpC <- censReg(Power ~ Windspeed, left = -Inf, right = 2000,data=PData_In,method="BHHH",nGHQ = 4) Error in maxNRCompute(fn = logLikAttr, fnOrig = fn, gradOrig = grad, hessOrig = hess, : NA in the initial gradient ...then I tried to set starting values myself and here is the error what I got: UpC <- censReg(Power ~ Windspeed, left = -Inf, right = 2000,data=PData_In,method="BHHH",nGHQ = 4,start=c(...

Hi there, I need to run a Tobit Fixed Effects in a panel data with 4500 units for 8 years. It is a huge data set, my dependent variable is left truncated at zero, the distribution is skewed and my panel is balanced. Any suggestions on how to do that in R? I tried stuff like survreg, censReg, and tobit but none of them were satisfactory. Thanks, *Felipe Nunes* CAPES/Fulbright Fellow PhD
