Hi Arni (and others), My dissertation work involves use (and extension) of models of the same ilk (sometimes exactly the same) as those described by Nancy Gove and John Skalski in their 2002 article. I began with R, and moved to my own home-brewed C/C++ programs for the sake of of speed when fitting models and real and simulated data. In addition, we found that the estimated standard errors (based on the inverse hessian output from optim()) were very sensitive to tolerance criteria--often changing orders of magnitude. Hi, Regarding the last bit, optim() has several methods (Nelder-Mead, simulated annealing, conjugate gradient, etc). It is interesting to me which method produced what result with the standard errors from the inverse Hessian. Can you briefly ellaborate? Thanks Rubén ____________________________________________________________________________________ Dr. Rubén Roa-Ureta AZTI - Tecnalia / Marine Research Unit Txatxarramendi Ugartea z/g 48395 Sukarrieta (Bizkaia) SPAIN ______________________________________________ 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.
