Re: [R] OPTIMX: non-finite finite-difference value [26] and scaling problem

... but unless there is an outright error in the code, the problem is due to the specific data and starting values, which means they cannot be easily reproduced. More than likely, the optimizer has run into numerical problems. After all, it is wandering around in 37 dimensional space and the max/m

[R] OPTIMX: non-finite finite-difference value [26] and scaling problem

Hello,I am running a nonlinear GMM using the optimx wrapper. I am trying to estimate 37 variables however and my code for the optimx is: nlgmm = optimx(par=b0, fn=obj,method = "BFGS", itnmax=1, control=list(follow.on = TRUE,kkt=FALSE,starttests=TRUE,save.failures=TRUE, trace=0)) My staring
