Greetings, I am using the nlm function in a minimization exercise but have consistently received the code: "last global step failed to locate a point lower than 'estimate'...." So it seems that this function is only finding a local minimum, not necessarily a global minimum. Does anyone have a suggestion or recommendation for an alternative package or function within R that will perform this minimization task more globally? Thank you, Marion Wittmann
