 Try using OLS starting values:

 glm(Y~X,family=gaussian(link=log), start = coef(lm(Y~X)))


Ok, using a starting value the model work.

But, sometimes ago it work without any starting values. Why now I need a 
starting values?

Thanks

[R] MASS need R = 2.4.0!!!

2006-10-15 Thread Ronaldo ReisJunior
Hi,

I have R 2.3.1 installed by debian páckage.

I install  only the base and recommended R packages from Debian source, all 
others packages I install from the R source at CRAN.

But, I try to use library MASS, but I received this message:

 library(MASS)
Error: This is R 2.3.1, package 'MASS' needs = 2.4.0

What is the problem?

Re: [R] glm cannot find valid starting values

2006-10-13 Thread Ronaldo ReisJunior
Hi,

I have some similar problems. Some times ago this problem dont there existed.

Look this simple example:

 Y - c(0,0,0,1,4,8,16)
 X - c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

 m - glm(Y~X,family=gaussian(link=log))
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : cannot find valid starting values: please 
specify some

 m - glm(Y~X,family=gaussian(link=log))
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : cannot find valid starting values: please 
specify some

What is the problem? I think that the problem is with the log link algorithm 
and zeros.

Look

 Y - c(0,0.1,0.5,1,4,8,16)

 m - glm(Y~X,family=gaussian(link=log))
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : cannot find valid starting values: please 
specify some
 
 Y - c(0.01,0.1,0.5,1,4,8,16)
 
 m - glm(Y~X,family=gaussian(link=log))

Without Zeros it work.

It is a real bug?

Thanks
Ronaldo
