Hi, Use the `auglag' function in "alabama" if you want to get the Hessian at convergence. This typically tends to perform better than `constrOptim.nl'. Also, `constrOptim.nl' does not compute the Hessian. You should not specify method="L-BFGS-B". The default method "BFGS" is better in this setting.
