quality of SE estimate by IMP method
Dear uses,
I am using NM7 SAEM method for an analysis. As I learned from NM7 workshop, I
used IMP method after SAEM to generate SE estimate.
In this case, at the end of SAEM iteration, OBJ was quite stable and negative
several thousand.
But, with IMP, after 5 iterations, Obj was up to positive several 10 to power
of 7. Obj was decreasing during this 5 iterations.
My questions is, dose this mean SE estimate is not reliable? Should I
increase
iterations of IMP?
Thank you.
