Hello, optim hangs for some reason when called within the betareg function (from the betareg package).
In this special case, the arguments which are passed to optim cause never ending calculations. I uploaded the arguments passed to optim on: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ud507gbpt3gkbcp/optim_arguments.RData I appreciate any help. Cheers, Katja > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.3 (2013-03-01) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=C LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] betareg_3.0-2 flexmix_2.3-8 lmtest_0.9-30 modeltools_0.2-19 [5] multcomp_1.2-15 sandwich_2.2-9 stats4_2.15.3 tools_2.15.3 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
