Dear colleagues,

For data imputation in time series, I am using the R-package imputeTS, using its funcion na_kalman. For some calls to that funcion, I get the following warning message:

In stats::StructTS(data, ...) :
  possible convergence problem: 'optim' gave code = 52 and message
‘ERROR: ABNORMAL_TERMINATION_IN_LNSRCH’

The function StructTS is called by the function na_kalman of the imputeTS package.

In one run of my program, in 600 calls to the na_kalman function (in bootstrap calculations), I've got 15 warning messages like that.

Would someone please tell me about the implications of such a message? To my eyes, the imputation results I am getting look perfectly acceptable.

Thank you very much.
