Oh Hi Arne, You may recall we visited with this before. I do not believe the problem is algorithm specific. The algorithms I use the most often are BFGS and BHHH (or maxBFGS and maxBHHH). For simple econometric models such as probit, Tobit, and evening sample selection models, old and new

Hi Steven Which optimisation algorithms in maxLik work better under R-3.0.3 than under the current version of R? /Arne On Thu, 8 Oct 2020 at 21:05, Steven Yen wrote: > > Hmm. You raised an interesting point. Actually I am not having problems with > aod per se—-it is just a supporting package

Hmm. You raised an interesting point. Actually I am not having problems with aod per se—-it is just a supporting package I need while using old R. The essential package I need, maxLik, simply works better under R-3.0.3, for reason I do not understand—specifically the numerical gradients of the

I wonder if you are perhaps trying to solve the wrong problem. If you like what the older version of the aod package does, but not the current version, then I think the solution is to propose an option to the aod maintainer that would restore your preferred algorithm into the current version, and
