Dear all When I used the method, L-BFGS-B, in OPTIM, I've got the following message.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- $par [1] 0.176166426835580 $value [1] 1322.17600079332 $counts function gradient 8 8 $convergence [1] 0 $message [1] "CONVERGENCE: REL_REDUCTION_OF_F <= FACTR*EPSMCH" $hessian [,1] [1,] 46300.3853279247 --------------------------------------------------------------------- First, what does that message, "CONVERGENCE: REL_REDUCTION_OF_F <= FACTR*EPSMCH", mean? and I am wondering if the estimates are reliable. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
