similar to: Error message in nmkb()

Hallo together, I am trying to estimate parameters by means of QMLE using the nlminb optimizer for a tree-structured GARCH model. I face two problems. First, the optimizer returns error[8] false convergence if I estimate the functions below. I have estimated the model at first with nlm without any problems, but then I needed to add some constraints so i choose nlminb.

Hello! I am trying to create an R optimization routine for a task that's currently being done using Excel (lots of tables, formulas, and Solver). However, otpim seems to be finding a local minimum. Example data, functions, and comparison with the solution found in Excel are below. I am not experienced in optimizations so thanks a lot for your advice! Dimitri ### 2 Inputs:

Hello: The development version of Ecdat on R-Forge contains a vignette in which optim(?, method=?L-BFGS-B?) stops with an error message while violating the lower bound. To see all the details, try the following: install.packages("Ecdat", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") Then do "help(pac=Ecdat)" -> "User guides, package

Hi R-Help, I am using R to do functional outlier detection (using PCA to reduce to 2 dimensions - the functional boxplot methodology used in the Rainbow package), and using Hscv.diag function to calculate the bandwidth matrix where this line of code is run: result <- optim(diag(Hstart), scv.mat.temp, method = "Nelder-Mead", control = list(trace = as.numeric(verbose))) Within the

Hi all, Many thank in advance for helping me.? I tried to fit Expectation Maximization algorithm for mixture data. I must used one of numerical method to maximize my function. I built my code but I do not know how to make the optim function run over a different value of the parameters.? That is, For E-step I need to get the value of mixture weights based on the current (initial) values of

Hi I am trying to estimate parameter values with mlogit. I attach a part of my data. My code is x=mlogit.data(y,choice="voittaja",shape="long",id.var="id",alt.var="numero") summary(mlogit(voittaja ~ Ie-1 , data=x, na.action=na.pass)) But i get Error in if (abs(x - oldx) < ftol) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed Because there is Na

Dear all, I am using the nlsLM function to fit a Lorentzian function to my experimental data. The LM algorithm should allow to specify limits, but the upper limit appears not to work as expected in my code. The parameter 'w', which is peak width at half maximuim always hits the upper limit if the limit is specified. I would expect the value to be in-between the upper and lower limit with

Hi After good advices i post this problem here again. Now the attached sambledata is in csv form and it is a part of my real data. I have tried different na.action operations but the result stays the same... My code > library(mlogit) > library(foreign) > z<-odbcConnectExcel("D:\\SAMBLEDATA.csv") > y<-sqlFetch(z,"Taul1") >

My code is to minimize the objective function therefore, shouldnt I expect that StartingValue = c(0.12, 0.04, 0.07, 0.03, 0.06, 0.07, 0.07, 0.04, 0.09, 0.08, 0.02, 0.02, 0.03, 0.06, 0.02, 0, 0.07, 0.05, 0.02, 0.02, 0.02) Fn(q1$par) < Fn(StartingValue) ## FALSE Below is the corrected code that can be reproduced: MyDat = structure(list(c(50L, 0L, 0L, 50L, 75L, 100L, 50L, 0L, 50L, 0L, 25L,

Hi Duncan, Thanks for your comment, I agree with that. But, how it can be justified that an Optimizer gives a result which is inferior to the starting value? At most, resulting value can remain at the same level, isnt it?

I haven't run your code, but since Kendall correlation is based on ranks, your Fn is probably locally constant with jumps when the ranks change. That's a really hard kind of function to maximize, and the algorithm used by fmincon is not appropriate to do it. Sorry, but I don't know if there is an R function that can do constrained discrete maximization. Duncan Murdoch On

Hi, I am trying to use mlogit in R to analyse a block design choice experiment dataset. The 12 choice sets/cards have been randomly assigned to 3 different blocks and each respondent answers all sets from one block (i.e. each respondent chooses from 4 choice sets). In total I have 2336 rows of data from 292 respondents. The data looks like this (2 of the three blocks): ID Sex Age Block Card

Dear everybody! take a<-c(5,3,NA,6). if(a[1]!=NA){b<-7} if(a[3]!=5){b<-7} if(a[3]!=NA){b<-7} if(a[3]==NA){b<-7} will alltogeather return Fehler in if (a[1] != NA) { : Fehlender Wert, wo TRUE/FALSE n?tig ist (or simularly). Somehow this is logical. But how else should I get out, whether a certain vector-component has an existing value? Thank you in advance! Yours, Mag. Ferri

help Hello, I?m a statistic student in Austria and I have to do a survival analysis in R by using psplines as regressor. My problem is that I sometimes (I think it depends on the choose of the parameters) get a error message, but I do not know what it means. After that I tried the procedure with an example dataset R is providing. Although using the cancer dataset I also get this message. Input:
