I can't run ml regression. I am using stata 7.0 special edition. My model consists of one dependent variable, 11 explanatory variables and a first order spatially autocorrelated error term. I have run the following program and specified my ml model. To check ml after giving the command ml check, it passes all the required test but when I am giving the command ml max, it returns the error r(430). please help me .
capture program drop ite_81
. program define ite_81
1. version 7.0
2. args lnf theta1 theta2
3. quietly replace `lnf'= ln(normden($ML_Y, `theta1', `theta2'))
4. end
.
.
end of do-file
. ml model lf ite_81 ( m = b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8 b9 b10 b11 f) ()
. ml check
Test 1: Calling ite_81 to check if it computes log likelihood and
does not alter coefficient vector...
Passed.
Test 2: Calling ite_81 again to check if the same log-likelihood value
is returned...
Passed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The initial values are not feasible. This may be because the initial values
have been chosen poorly or because there is an error in ite_81 and it
always returns missing no matter what the parameter values.
Stata is going to use ml search to find a feasible set of initial values.
If ite_81 is broken, this will not work and you will have to press Break
to make ml search stop.

ite_81 returns different results when fed a different coefficient vector:

Test 8: Calling ite_81 requesting 1st derivatives at the new values...

ite_81 HAS PASSED ALL TESTS

Test 10: Does ite_81 produce unanticipated output?
This is a minor issue. Stata has been running ite_81 with all
output suppressed. This time Stata will not suppress the output.
If you see any unanticipated output, you need to place quietly in
front of some of the commands in ite_81.
