Trying following example from Pinheiro and Bates in order to fit an
ARMA(1,1) model:

library(nlme)
fm1Ovary.lme<-lme(follicles~sin(2*pi*Time)+cos(*pi*Time),data=Ovary,random=p
dDiag(~sin(2*pi*Time)))
fm5Ovary.lme<-update(fm1Ovary.lme,corr=corARMA(p=1,q=1))

I get follwing error message:

Error in "coef<-.corARMA"(`*tmp*`, value = c(62.3428455941166,
62.3428517930051 : Coefficient matrix not invertible


Does somebody know why it doesn't work ?

The optimization code in R's nlm is different from the code in S-PLUS's ms. The nlm optimizer does not converge on that ill-conditioned example.
