Dear R-Help listers, I am trying to estimate an proportional odds logistic regression model (or ordered logistic regression) and then make predictions by supplying a hypothetical x vector. However, somehow this does not work. I guess I must have missed something here. I first used the polr function in the MASS package, and I create a data frame and supply it to the predict function (see below):

error in optim, within polr(): "initial value in 'vmmin' is not finite"
Hi all. I'm just starting to explore ordinal multinomial regression. My dataset is 300,000 rows, with an outcome (ordinal factor from 1 to 9) and five independent variables (all continuous). My first stab at it was this: pomod <- polr(Npf ~ o_stddev + o_skewness + o_kurtosis + o_acl_1e + dispersal, rlc, Hess=TRUE) And that worked; I got a good model fit. However, a variety of other things that I've tried give me this error: Error in optim(s0, fmin, gmin, method = "BFGS", ...) : initial value in &...
