Re: help on a minimization problem

Hi Ethan, You have reached the maximum number of function evaluation (9999 I believe). Two solutions: 1- you create a copy of your control stream and update the initial estimates with the 'final' estimates of your first run 2- you create a copy of your control stream and use an $MSFI statement in case you would have use the MSFO option in your first run. Then, run the copied control stream. Hopefully, your run will converge before reached the maximum number of function evaluation.

OF FUNCTION EVALUATIONS USED: 10093 NO. OF SIG. DIGITS UNREPORTABLE I did find in previous discussion, people suggested to do by adding this under $PK " FIRST " COMMON /PRCOMG/ IDUM1,IDUM2,IMAX,IDUM4,IDUM5 " INTEGER IDUM1,IDUM2,IMAX,IDUM4,IDUM5 " IMAX=100000 but, when I added above below $PRED, it didn't work. Any suggestion? Thanks.
