Using the print.level=2 argument to nlm can help track this down. Also, set options(warn=1) before calling nlm so warnings get printed as soon as they are generated. Bill Dunlap TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com On Mon, Mar 28, 2016 at 3:32 PM, Rolf Turner <r.turner at auckland.ac.nz> wrote:

Hi, Whitout rproducible example, it will be impossible to help you efficiently. See https://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html Anyway, this error means that your function returns NA or error for some combination of parameters. Marc
