Roland, I did a google search for R Error: inner loop 2; cannot correct step size and found an old R-help message that suggests the glm() algorithm cannot converge. https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-December/223142.html
I get the same error message as you when I fit glm(cbind(resp,nresp)~d+I(d^2)+I(d^3),data=test,family= binomial(clog())) but no error message if I get rid of the last parameter glm(cbind(resp,nresp)~d+I(d^2),data=test,family=binomial(clog())) Hope this helps Jean On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 7:13 AM, Roland Deutsch <roland.deut...@tuwien.ac.at > wrote: > Dear R-help, > > during a simulation study using glm, I got the following error message > for which I cannot determine the cause: > > Error: inner loop 2; cannot correct step size > > Below is the code for which this error occurred is > > clog<-function(){ > linkfun<-function(mu) qexp(mu) > linkinv<-function(eta) pmax(.Machine$double.eps,pexp(eta)) > mu.eta<-function(eta) pmax(dexp(eta),.Machine$double.eps) > valideta<-function(eta) all(eta>0) > link<-"clog" > > > structure(list(linkfun=linkfun,linkinv=linkinv,mu.eta=mu.eta,valideta=valideta,name="link"),class="link-glm") > } > > test<-data.frame(d=c(0,0.04,0.2,0.6,2,4),resp=c(0,1,3,4,24,28),nresp=c(18,21,19,17,1,0)) > glm(cbind(resp,nresp)~d+I(d^2)+I(d^3),data=test,family=binomial(clog())) > > Any help on why this error occurs and, more importantly, how I can > filter data producing this error would be highly appreciated. > > Sincerely, > Roland Deutsch > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
