Dear all, I tried to estimate a value for alpha parameter of corMartins (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) but the output is a bit puzzling. I do as follows:
> fitOU<-gls(fcl~mass+loc_dim+activity+feeding+loc_typ+agility,correlation=corMartins(value=0,phy=tree,fixed=FALSE),data=df,method="ML",weights=varFixed(~vf)) > Error in recalc.corStruct(object[[i]], conLin) : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 4) Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit 1: gls(fcl ~ mass + loc_dim + activity + feeding + loc_typ + agility, correlati 2: nlminb(c(coef(glsSt)), function(glsPars) -logLik(glsSt, glsPars), control = 3: objective(.par, ...) 4: logLik(glsSt, glsPars) 5: logLik.glsStruct(glsSt, glsPars) 6: recalc(object, conLin) 7: recalc.modelStruct(object, conLin) 8: recalc(object[[i]], conLin) 9: recalc.corStruct(object[[i]], conLin) It work when I turn the "value" to 1, but then the estimate for alpha is 0.99, which looks like it isn't actually estimating a value and is instead accepting my input as the alpha value. Do you think there is a reason for this to happen? Thank you in advance.
