Hello,
My question is regarding the trace argument of ms(). My department
recently upgraded from Version 3.4 (HP platform) to Version 5.1 Release 1
for Sun SPARC, SunOS 5.5 : 1999. I tried running a call to ms() that
worked fine in the previous version. When trying to run it in the new
version, problems arose.
It turns out the problem was due to the trace argument I was using. I was
supplying my own function but nothing was being outputted. I decided to
see if the built-in function trace.ms() would work. Again, the trace
argument seemed to be completely ignored. No output was printed as was
expected. I was under the impression trace.ms would yield parameter
estimates at each iteration.
Has anyone encountered any problems using trace in ms() in version 5.1 or
am I missing something?
Again, I had no problems in 3.4.
I'll summarize to the list.
Nicole
