I appologize for the lack of information in my previous mail, but it is my
first one.
Yes I red -in part- the Port documentation to learn what does the message
X-convergence (3) mean.
so this is my nlminb and the results :
res1<-nlminb(parametres[,3], V, lower=c(rep(0.01, 18), rep(0.01, 3),
rep(-Inf, 6)), upper=c(rep(Inf, 18), rep(0.99, 3), rep(Inf, 6)), control =
list(maxit=1000) )
Results : > res1
$par
[1] 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000
[8] 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000 1.0000000

$objective

$convergence

$message

So as you see, it stops after just one iteration but it is converging.
Thanks
