I am trying to run a ML model but I cannot make it work for
the data set that I am using. I know that the program works
since I checked it with other data set and it ran without
problems.
I keep getting the message:
initial: log likelihood = -<inf> (could not be
evaluated)
could not find feasible values
I have tried ml search to find better values but I get the
same message, and ml plot tells me that all log likelihood
values are missing. I have tried giving initial values based
on an alternative model and ml max, difficult but nothing
works. Any suggestions? Is it possible to have a data set
for which you cannot make ml max work no matter what you
do?
Thanks,
Alejandro
